@Redbaron I was on the support line for my glucose monitor the other day. They are really good about replacing sensors which fall off or give you an error message.

The person who was helping me spoke perfect English but her accent made her hard to understand.

But all's well that ends well. A replacement sensor is on its way.

Also. I am last

I am sure @Mendalla will be able to explain.

You press and hold E on your keyboard and then choose the accent that you want.

I am so used to accents anymore given half my team are immigrants and we have a lot of immigrant employees from various places in general.

On phones, yes, as I already explained. But that doesn't work on desktop.

Glad you explained further, Mendalla. I hadn't read your post before I posted mine.

Will give it a try. Now, which way does the accent go in tres? It's a long time since I studied French but I did remember that tres has one.

 

[Mendalla]

So in Windows, one way is to hold ALT and type the unicode code for the accented character on the keyboard's number pad. è

But that means knowing the bleeping codes, which can be found here and numerous other sites:

Alt Codes for Language Accents - Spanish, French & German

Windows Alt codes for language symbols in Spanish, French & German. Learn the codes so you never have to copy and paste again!

The other way is quite old but still works. Find Character Map (in WIndows 11 it is in Start - WIndows Tools, on older versions I believe it is in Windows Accessories or something like that). Double click the character you want. Click Copy and paste the character where you want it.

Neither is especially efficient. Quebecois and other francophones use multilingual keyboards with common French characters already on them and occasionally laptops sold in the rest of Canada have those, too. I hate them myself because it is sometimes too easy to switch to multilingual mode, leading to weird typos.

It's this one: è

Windows has a symbol application that has many, many alien icons ... yes Mendalla the Character Map!

There you may find things like the Cyrillic "Zeh" Ж, or others like the Aramaic Ք "keh" take a stab at avatars from lost languages and you learn a lot of unknown stuff. Tribes fought to the death over these things ... word turnover?

Yep, that's the character map app I mentioned. Dates all the way back to Windows 3.0 if I remember correctly, though I think the character list has grown.

an alien icon in last...

 

[Luce NDs]

Can you guess where the "keh" pierces into belief systems? Then there is the enigma of the blade in the stoned state ... it is quite semi tete ... semantics?

Half headed? In one tradition it took 3 to sail through the unknown ... almost as flakey as Ж that can be separated into IX, or XI for the 11!

Some scientists block this into an idE for n-1 in the binary code that is exponential! Simian says get ouda ere ... so thoughts go! They may form an aura like that band representing one of the heresy's ... just here say? You really can't believe much given the unconscious urges to change and alter!

Are you comprehending any of it? There ... nothing is proven to go ... isn't that something? Many fall into it ...

And I, too, am an alien. I even have my Alien Registration Card. And I'm last

 

[Luce NDs]

If you are alien and well known ... that suggests split character in a personality divine ... bifurcation! May indicate the potential pluralism in the pole ... episteme, or epistemi ... stands out!

Some say to keep your head down, duck or Don 'll get yah if you believe what he spreads ... how do some get sucked in? There is the complex! Con junction ...

I have found the accented e's on my android phone. Can't figure out how to actually type one of them LoL

Hold down the e, move the blue dot to the kind of e that you want, then let go

Okay. I didn't think to try the blue dot.

 

[Luce NDs]

That's outstanding ... as resembling "ai", or even aye phonetically ...

 

[Jaebius]

Okay. I didn't think to try the blue dot.

When in doubt about anything in life, always try the blue dot

There is a little thingie at the bottom of my desk top screen that deals with language. You choose the version you want - Canadian English, US English etc.. Check them out and choose the one that gives you the accent. Change back when you have written your words though or you will keep getting accents on everything you type.

I once got seized there ... was a dire fit!
