Diacritical Marks on an Apple product

Did you know that it is really easy to make accent marks if you have an Apple device (iPhone, Mac, Macbook, iPad, etc.)?  Things like è in Hermès or ç in Français or é in entrée or ô in Côte d'Azure.

To find the mark you need, simply hold down the letter and some choices will appear.  You can slide your mouse to the choice.  Or you can type the numeral that appears with the choice you want.

I held down the letter e until the box appeared above it.  Then I could have chosen any of those options.

Now you can type words like jalapeño, Zoë, soupçon.

There are also lots of other hidden characters.  They are accessed by holding down the option key or the option and shift key while hitting a number or letter.

To get the degree sign, as in 75º, you hold down the option key while clicking the zero.
To get the ¢ sign, as in 50¢, you hold down the option key while hitting the number 4
To get the upside-down exclamation point needed in Spanish, it's option and number 1  -  ¡
The upside-down question mark is option-shift-?  ¿¿¿¿¿

® is Option r
™ is Option 2
€ is Option Shift 2

© is Option g     Really!

Have fun trying the various combination.  And, when you forget how to find a character, you can always google it!
