How to type K with accent

Accented forms of K are not printed on most English keyboards, but every device hides a shortcut for them. Pick your platform:

Windows

ķ
0137thenAltX
  1. In Microsoft Word, type the hexadecimal code point of the letter — 0137 for ķ.
  2. Press Alt+X: the code converts into the accented letter in place.

Tip: No accented form of K has a classic Windows Alt code. Outside Word, press Win + . to open the emoji panel and look under its Symbols tab — or copy the letter straight from this page, which is fastest of all.

Mac

ḱ
OptionEthenk
  1. Press the Option combination for the accent — a highlighted accent mark appears, waiting.
  2. Type the letter k; the two combine into ḱ (and its siblings).

Tip: The press-and-hold pop-up has no accented forms of K, so the Option combinations above are the keyboard route — or copy the letter straight from this page.

iPhone & Android

ķ
kpress & hold
  1. On an iPhone or iPad, press and hold the k key on the on-screen keyboard.
  2. A pop-up row of accented versions appears — slide your finger to the one you want and release.
  3. For a capital like K, tap Shift first, then press and hold the letter the same way.

Tip: The combos above come from the letter's long-press menu on the iPhone's English (US) keyboard (iOS 17+); Gboard and other Android keyboards offer similar menus, though the exact set varies. Forms missing from the pop-up (like ḵ) are quickest to copy straight from this page.
