Something doesn't work?

  • The Num lock should always be enabled. If it is disabled when you are attempting an alt code, it may cause errors or unexpected results in some applications. For example, Alt+4 could be interpreted as Alt +, ← which causes the browser to go back if the Num lock is disabled.
  • If your laptop keyboard doesn't have a separate NumPad, you should hold FN button with Alt button while typing the code.
  • This method does not work for Linux system, but it is possible to use Unicode.

U with accent

Briefly about u with accent

The accented Latin letter Ú, ú (acute), is commonly used in the Faroese, Czech, Hungarian, Slovak, and Icelandic writing systems. The accented u letter also appears in Irish, Dutch, Spanish, Occitan, Italian, Pinyin, Portuguese, Galician, and Vietnamese as an alternative of the letter "U."

The usage of u with accent in different languages

Czech ― The accented Ú,ú letter occupies the 34th place of the Czech alphabet and represents a /uː/ sound. It is always the 1st of the word except in compound words, like "trojúhelník," meaning triangle, which is composed of two words ― "troj" derived from "tři" meaning three, and "úhel," pointing angle.

Icelandic ― In the Icelandic alphabet, the accented "u" letter is in the 25th place representing a /u/ sound.

Kazakh ― In Kazakh, in 2018, the Ú/ú letter was proposed to be one of the Latin scripts. The letter should represent the near-close front rounded vowel (ʏ). It is also used to replace Cyrillic Ү. However, the replacement now is modified to be Ü ü in 2020.

Slovak ― Ú,ú letter is the 39th of the Slovak alphabet and stands for a /uː/ sound.

Portuguese and Spanish ― In the Portuguese and Spanish languages, the "ú" letter is not a letter but the letter "u" with an accent mark. The letter is widely used to signify an "u" syllable along with abnormal stress.

Italian ― In Italian, "u" with an accented letter is a variant of U with an acute accent. Hence, it represents an /u/ with the tonic accent. It is only used if it is the last letter of the Italian word except in dictionaries.
