In order to type accented characters, you'll need to know the ASCII code of that character. You can check that out in the character map. This can be accessed in the following way:
- Click the Start button
- Click All Programs
- Clicking Accessories,
- Click System Tools
- Click Character Map.
Once you have the character map open, you can just highlight the character that you want, and the ASCII code will be displayed on the 'Character map' window.
In order to insert the character, go to the textbox where you need to insert it, hold down the 'Alt' key on the keyboard and type the number on the numeric keypad.
In case of a laptop, you'll need use the numbers on the numeric keypad. But there's no separate numeric keypad on a laptop, instead, the numbers are arranged on the same keys as the letters. They're separate from the numbers on the top line.
