Typing these letters quickly
On Windows, the fastest built-in route is an Alt code, for example Alt+0224 for à. On a Mac, press Option+`, then A. On phones, add the Maltese keyboard so every letter sits on the long-press menu. The full typing guide has a chart for every letter.
Capital letters
Every lowercase Maltese letter above has a capital form, and you should keep the accent on capitals. Dropping accents from capitals is an old typewriter habit; modern style guides for most languages, including the official French and Spanish academies, recommend keeping them.
Sorting and searching Maltese text
Computers sort accented letters by code point unless told otherwise, which can put them after z. Use a locale-aware sort (for example localeCompare with the Maltese locale in JavaScript, or a Maltese collation in your database) so lists follow Maltese alphabetical order.
