How to Put Accents Over Words on a Cellphone
- 1). Launch your email, text or other app on your phone that you want to type in.
- 2). Type as you normally would until you get to a word you need to accent.
- 3). Press and hold the letter on the virtual keypad that is closest to the accented letter you want. For example, if you want the accented "e" that is common in Spanish, press and hold the "e" key. If your phone has this feature, several options will appear, showing the letter "e" with various accents and related symbols.
- 4). Slide your finger up to the appropriate accented letter when it appears. Release your finger when the letter you want is highlighted.
- 5). Repeat the press and hold process for each letter you want to accent.
