Alt Codes for Accented Letters: Full Chart
Alt codes let you type accented letters on Windows by holding Alt and typing a number on the numeric keypad. Codes that start with 0 come from the Windows-1252 character set and work in almost every program.
How to use an Alt code
- Turn on Num Lock.
- Hold the left Alt key.
- Type the code on the number pad.
- Release Alt.
On a laptop without a number pad, use Win+. and the Symbols tab, or the US-International keyboard.
