Accents Alt Codes

Accented Latin letters with their four-digit Alt codes, covering French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian and the Nordic languages.

This group holds 43 characters. They run from U+00C1 to U+0153, close enough together to share a neighbourhood but not a single contiguous run. They are drawn from Latin-1 Supplement (41), Latin Extended-A (2) in the Unicode Standard, which is what decides how each one is encoded and how software sorts and compares it.

Most of the traffic to this group is for ñ, ã and ç. The phrase people type for the first of those is n with tilde alt code, which is worth knowing if you are looking for it under another name.

Most of them, 41 of the 43, come from Latin-1 Supplement: the accented letters and common signs Western European languages needed. A block is an address rather than a category, and this group is drawn from 2 of them. The rest come from Latin Extended-A.

Every one of them has a Windows Alt code that works on any keyboard with a numeric keypad.

Of the 43, 28 have a Mac shortcut of their own. Everything else in this drawer is reached by copying it or by its codepoint, which works in every application on every system.

Every character below copies with one click. Each one also has a guide page with its Windows, Mac and HTML route written out.
