Accent Letters Symbols

Latin letters carrying a diacritic: acute, grave, circumflex, tilde, umlaut, ring, caron, ogonek and cedilla. For the full set organised by language, use the accent keyboard.

This group holds 63 characters. They run from U+00C0 to U+0192, close enough together to share a neighbourhood but not a single contiguous run. They are drawn from Latin-1 Supplement (55), Latin Extended-A (7), Latin Extended-B (1) 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, 55 of the 63, 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 3 of them. The rest come from Latin Extended-A and Latin Extended-B.

38 of the 63 have a Windows Alt code that works as printed. The rest are copy and paste, which works the same everywhere.

Of the 63, 26 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. 38 of them have a guide page as well, with the Windows, Mac and HTML route written out.
