Typing diacritics
Diacritics are marks above, below or through letters, including accents, dots and strokes. They can indicate pronunciation and distinguish letters or words in many languages. If your usual writing does not use these marks, they may seem unfamiliar at first, but they are part of normal spelling in languages that use them. How you type a letter with a diacritic depends on the keyboard layout and operating system. Some letters have their own keys; others are entered by holding a modifier such as AltGr on a PC or Option on a Mac while pressing the letter key. Another method is to press and release an accent key before typing the letter. Check the keys or sequences available in your selected layout. For Polish letters such as ą and ę, for example, practice the appropriate inputs for the Polish layout you use. Some combinations take time to get used to, particularly when switching between PC and Mac layouts. Learning to enter these characters broadens your touch typing skills, whether you need them in your own language or a foreign one.
