Accented Letters

Many languages supplement the basic Latin letters with a great variety of accented letters. If you are not familiar with or do not have access to a "character map" for your fonts, this table includes Alt Codes for typing accented or special characters. To use them, you simply hold down the "alt" key and punch in the numbers associated with the letter/character. An even easier method is to directly copy letters out of this chart and paste them where you need them.

  • If your word processor can use these special characters, they should appear the same as they do here. Microsoft Notepad (included in Windows) will display these characters, but it will not save them in the file. However Microsoft Wordpad (included in Windows) or Word (included in Microsoft Office) most definitely can use and save these characters. If you are programming for websites (using HTML for example), whether or not you can copy and paste these depends on the platform in which you are building (raw HTML in Notepad vs. Adobe Dreamweaver, etc.). A good, free (open source) office suite is Open Office which includes a word processor, Open Office Writer.

Extra Letters

The letters Eth, Thorn, Yogh, and Wynn were used in Old English; Eth and Thorn were used in Icelandic; the long S was used in English and other languages to write non-final S's (internal S's) until about the late 18th / early 19th century. The dotted uppercase I in combination with the dotless lowercase I are used in Turkish, and the the schwa is used in Azeri. The other letters are used in various other languages, particularly those languages spoken in West Africa.
