About the letter ú

ú is Unicode U+00FA, named LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE. It is used in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Icelandic and Dutch. A short line slanting up to the right. It marks stress in Spanish (canción), a closed vowel in French (été), vowel length in Czech, Hungarian and Irish, and a rising tone in Vietnamese and Pinyin. See the ú character page for every code and shortcut.

Troubleshooting

Ctrl+Shift+U does not work in some Android apps on ChromeOS. Use it in Chrome and web apps.
Make sure you type the code in lowercase or uppercase; both work, but do not include "U+".
If nothing happens, check that an input method other than the default English one is not active.
