What are Accent Marks?

Accents (or diacritical marks) are small glyphs used over letters (commonly vowels) to help emphasize the pronunciation of letters. Their use in English words can be limited but they are frequently used in Spanish, Italian, French, German, Portuguese and several other European languages.

Method 1: Long Pressing Key to Show the List of Accented Letters

Most of the new macOS versions allow users to easily type accented letters by pressing and holding the key until you see a list. This is the most common method that you can use to type accented letters. Most alphabet keys will offer symbols too and some will offer nothing.
