Method 1 (Windows): Type R With Accent Using Alt Codes

Alt codes let you type special letters by holding Alt and typing a number on the number keypad.

Steps:

  1. Turn Num Lock ON.
  2. Click where you want the character.
  3. Hold Alt.
  4. Type the code on the number keypad (not the number row above letters).
  5. Release Alt.

Windows Alt codes (Lowercase)

  • Alt + 341 → ŕ (r with acute)
  • Alt + 7769 → ṙ (r with dot above)
  • Alt + 345 → ř (r with caron)
  • Alt + 343 → ŗ (r with cedilla)
  • Alt + 589 → ɍ (r with stroke)
  • Alt + 637 → ɽ (r with tail)
  • Alt + 529 → ȑ (r with double grave)
  • Alt + 531 → ȓ (r with inverted breve)
  • Alt + 7771 → ṛ (r with dot below)
  • Alt + 7775 → ṟ (r with line below)
  • Alt + 7773 → ṝ (r with dot below and macron)

Windows Alt codes (Uppercase)

  • Alt + 340 → Ŕ (R with acute)
  • Alt + 7768 → Ṙ (R with dot above)
  • Alt + 344 → Ř (R with caron)
  • Alt + 342 → Ŗ (R with cedilla)
  • Alt + 588 → Ɍ (R with stroke)

If it doesn’t work:

  • Many laptops don’t have a true number keypad. Try Character Map (Windows) or the Word method (Unicode + Alt+X) below.
  • Some apps don’t support every Alt code. If it fails in a browser/app, copy/paste is the fastest fix.

Method 2 (Microsoft Word): Unicode + Alt+X (Most Reliable)

This is one of the most reliable methods in Microsoft Word. You type a Unicode code, then press Alt + X to convert it.

Steps:

  1. Type the Unicode code.
  2. Press Alt + X.
  3. Word converts it into the accented letter.

Word Unicode + Alt+X (Lowercase)

  • Type 0155 then Alt+X → ŕ
  • Type 1E59 then Alt+X → ṙ
  • Type 0159 then Alt+X → ř
  • Type 0157 then Alt+X → ŗ
  • Type 024D then Alt+X → ɍ
  • Type 027D then Alt+X → ɽ
  • Type 0211 then Alt+X → ȑ
  • Type 0213 then Alt+X → ȓ
  • Type 1E5B then Alt+X → ṛ
  • Type 1E5F then Alt+X → ṟ
  • Type 1E5D then Alt+X → ṝ

Word Unicode + Alt+X (Uppercase)

  • Type 0154 then Alt+X → Ŕ
  • Type 1E58 then Alt+X → Ṙ
  • Type 0158 then Alt+X → Ř
  • Type 0156 then Alt+X → Ŗ
  • Type 024C then Alt+X → Ɍ
  • Type 2C64 then Alt+X → Ɽ
  • Type 0210 then Alt+X → Ȑ
  • Type 0212 then Alt+X → Ȓ
  • Type 1E5A then Alt+X → Ṛ
  • Type 1E5E then Alt+X → Ṟ
  • Type 1E5C then Alt+X → Ṝ
