How to add accent and accent marks in Windows 10

Using the onscreen keyboard is the easiest way to add stress. It is enough just to hold down the desired vowel with your finger on touch screens and with the left mouse button on ordinary ones. A small menu will appear where you can select the desired symbol. In Word and many other text editors there are tables of special characters, where you can always take an accent mark, accent, or similar elements.

There is also another way, where after the desired letter without a space, you must write the numbers 0301 for stress or 0300 for accent and press the key combination Alt + X … Two examples:

for0301mok → Alt + X → lock;
lock0300k → Alt + X → lock.

The third method requires you to select the US-International keyboard layout in the region and language section. With her, clamping the symbol on the keyboard ‘ (key to the left of Enter) and pressing the desired vowel allows you to immediately put stress. Likewise with an accent ` (key to the left of one). Examples:

`+ o → ò;
‘+ O → ó.
