As someone who has an accent in her last name, it took me longer than it should've to figure out how to use an accent mark on an iPhone. In case you're like me and wonder how to find accent marks and other symbols on an iPhone and Mac computer, we've got you covered with a step-by-step guide ahead.
While I don't necessarily use them more than emoji or emoticons, accent marks are crucial when you're trying to communicate in a different language or spell something appropriately. Once you're done memorizing how to use this tip like a pro, don't forget to see how to add and use the interrobang.
You should see a row of different accents available, depending on the letter. If you have an iPhone 6S or 6S Plus, be careful and don't push down on the screen too hard or you'll activate a 3D Touch feature instead.
The -, $, &, “, ., ?, !, ‘, %, and / each show different symbols after pressing down.
Just press down on whatever letter you need an accent for and easily pick out what you need. If you hit the escape button, the row of options will disappear.
To access this screen, just press command, control, and space at the same time. At first, you'll see the emoji keyboard. To see symbols, press on the tiny keyboard icon at the top right corner. After that, you should see a list of the different types of symbols you can use. To use one, have your doc ready and open. Just click on the symbol and it should appear in your doc. Pretty easy, right?
