Tips for Copy/Paste Workflow

  • Combining marks: You can also add diacritics dynamically. For example:
    • á = a + U+0301 (combining acute)
    • ö = o + U+0308 (combining diaeresis)
  • This means you don’t need every precomposed character — you can build them on the fly.
  • But for convenience, the table above gives you the most common precomposed forms.

How to Use

  • Copy any sample above directly.
  • Or combine manually: type a base letter, then add the combining diacritic.
    • Example: a + U+0301 → á
  • Works in most modern apps (Word, browsers, editors).

Notes

  • These are precomposed uppercase accented characters where available.
  • Some (like dot below Ạ) are built using combining marks, so rendering depends on font.
  • Fonts like Gentium, Noto Sans/Serif, DejaVu render them cleanly.
