The typing block shows letters, symbols and modifiers. Choose AltGr for additional symbols. ◌ marks a composing accent.

Type a composing accent

A circled accent in the diagram marks a composing key. Press the accent, then the intended letter; use the selected input source’s accent combination to produce the composed character.

The quote, double quote, grave, tilde and circumflex positions can behave as accent starters. Use the plain/Shift view to find the starter you need.

International arrangements differ

US International and AltGr-based international variants use different accent behavior. Match the named arrangement to your selected input source; use the checker when a quote waits for a following character.
