Accented letters to copy and paste

English keyboards pretend accents do not exist, yet English text is full of them: café, jalapeño, naïve, façade, über, Motörhead. This collection covers the accented Latin letters people actually reach for, with the Mac and Windows shortcuts to type each one natively.

Every character here is the precomposed, single-codepoint form — what NFC normalization produces and what databases, URLs and filenames handle most predictably. The alternative, a base letter plus a combining mark, looks identical on screen but compares unequal in naive string comparisons.

Entries note which languages treat each letter as distinct (Spanish ñ and Scandinavian å and ø are letters in their own right, not decorated variants), give the uppercase codepoint, and flag lookalike traps such as ø versus the empty set ∅.
