Q With Accent
Q is the rarest case of all: no living European alphabet accents it, so its 3 hooked forms come from phonetic notation and the missionary alphabets of Papua New Guinea. Every letter on this page copies in one click — click a card, then paste anywhere with Ctrl+V (Windows), Cmd+V (Mac) or a long-press → Paste on a phone.

How to type Q with accent
Accented forms of Q are not printed on most English keyboards, but every device hides a shortcut for them. Pick your platform:
Windows
- In Microsoft Word, type the hexadecimal code point of the letter — 02A0 for ʠ.
- Press Alt+X: the code converts into the accented letter in place.
Tip: No accented form of Q 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
- Press Control + Command + Space to open the Character Viewer.
- Search for the character name — for example "Latin Small Letter Q with Hook" — and double-click it to insert.
Tip: The press-and-hold pop-up has no accented forms of Q; the Character Viewer is the reliable route — or copy the letter straight from this page.
iPhone & Android
- Long-press pop-ups on iPhone, iPad and Android don't cover accented forms of Q (on iOS, only b, f, j, m, p, q, v and x lack a menu).
- Fastest route on a phone: tap the ʠ card above to copy it, then long-press the text field and choose Paste.
Tip: Every accented form of Q is quickest to copy straight from this page — tap a card, then paste.
