Grid of accented vowels A E I O U

The letter O is not the only vowel that takes accents, and if you write an accented language you will need the others too. This companion reference gathers every accented A, E, I and U alongside the O family, with the code point, HTML entity and Windows Alt code for each, so you have one place to look them up.

Accented A

The A family mirrors the O family closely. The acute Á appears in Spanish and Czech, the grave À in French and Italian, the circumflex  in French and Romanian, the tilde à in Portuguese, the two dots Ä in German and Finnish, and the ring Å in Swedish and Danish.

Accented E And I

The E accents are among the most common in all of European writing, above all the acute É of Spanish and French. The I accents follow the same pattern of acute, grave, circumflex and two dots.

Accented U

The U family completes the vowels. The two dot Ü is especially common, appearing in German and, with a different job, in Spanish where it signals a pronounced U after a G.

Lowercase versions follow the same pattern with higher Alt codes, and the tool lists every one. Filter the finder by A, U or E and I to browse the whole set at a glance.

The Same Rules Apply

Everything that is true of the accented O holds for the other vowels. They are standard Unicode, they copy and paste the same way, and they can be typed with Alt codes, Mac Option shortcuts, phone long presses or language layouts. The Alt code guide and the platform guides all apply equally.

In Summary

Every vowel takes accents, and the A, E, I and U families follow the same acute, grave, circumflex and two dot patterns as the O. Use this table as a quick reference for the code point, entity and Alt code of each, and copy any of them directly from the finder by switching its filter.
