How to type U with accent

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

Windows

ú
Alt0250
ù
Alt0249
û
Alt0251
ü
Alt0252
Ú
Alt0218
Ù
Alt0217
  1. Turn on Num Lock so the numeric keypad produces digits.
  2. Hold Alt, type the four-digit code on the numeric keypad, then release Alt — the accented letter appears at the cursor.

Tip: Forms without an Alt code (like ů) have no keypad shortcut — in Word, type the code point from the table above and press Alt+X. No numeric keypad at all? Press Win + . for the emoji panel (Symbols tab), or copy the letter straight from this page.

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

Tip: Easier still: press and hold the u key itself and a pop-up offers accented forms like ú ù û ü — type the number shown under the one you want.

  1. On an iPhone or iPad, press and hold the u 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 U, 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 ṻ) are quickest to copy straight from this page.
