Adding common accent marks to text

[wizard509]

No, use the apostrophe (below the double quote).



Did you press the Shift-key before pressing the U key?

Thank you, Boy.

As far as I could see, no-one has pointed out the *nix way of doing this, namely Compose, for Windows, there is http://wincompose.info/.

Allchars (https://allchars.zwolnet.com/) works for earlier Windows editions including Win7. It is a bit easier in my opinion.
