How to type Accents or Special Characters with Alt Codes

Have you ever wanted to type a letter with a particular accent but didn't want to change the keyboard language just for a few letters?

Well there's a quicker way to do this and its by using a combination of the Alt key plus a numeric code.  What you do is hold down the Alt key on your keyboard then with the Alt key held down, press on a numeric code (for example 130) from your keypad.  This would give you the letter é. 

This web page provides a chart of the most popular accents for various languages to make it easier for you to refer back whenever you need to type some accents but don't know the codes. 

We have a handy chart which you can print out or just save the page in your favorites and refer back to it whenever you need to. We keep the site updated and will be adding new codes and languages in the future.
