Meaning & usage
Accented letters change sounds and meanings: Spanish ñ is a different letter from n, French é and è point opposite directions in sound, and German ü is its own vowel. Keyboards outside those languages hide them behind long-presses and dead keys, so this page collects the full working set — every tile named, every one a real Unicode letter you can copy into names (José, Chloë, Björk), coursework and documents without fighting your keyboard layout.
Examples in use
- José García — the é matters
- naïve, façade, résumé
- Zürich, München, Köln

Frequently asked questions
How do I type é on a Windows keyboard?
Hold Alt and type 0233 on the numeric keypad for é (0232 for è). On a Mac, press Option+E then E. On phones, long-press the E key. Or copy from the grid here.
Is ñ just an n with a decoration?
In Spanish, ñ is a separate letter of the alphabet with its own place in the dictionary — año (year) and ano are very different words.
Why does é sometimes show as a box or question mark?
The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+00E9 (Latin Small Letter E With Acute). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.
