Android & iPhone: Type D With Accent on Mobile

iPhone / iPad

  • Press and hold d on the keyboard
    If the exact letter isn’t shown:
  • Use copy/paste from this page (best)
  • Or use a text replacement:
    • Settings → General → Keyboard → Text Replacement

  • If not available:
    • Copy/paste from this page

“My Alt Code Isn’t Working” (Fix It)

Here are the most common reasons:

1) You’re not using the numeric keypad

Alt codes need the numpad.
Typing numbers from the top row often won’t work.

2) Num Lock is off

Turn Num Lock ON and try again.

3) You’re on a laptop without a real numpad

Options:

  • Use Character Map
  • Use Word Unicode (Alt+X) method
  • Copy/paste from the widget

4) It works in Word but not in other apps

That happens for some characters.
Best workaround:

  • Use Character Map (Windows)
  • Use copy/paste
  • Use the widget

5) The character turns into a box ▢

That’s a font issue.
Fix: change your font to something common like:

  • Calibri
  • Arial
  • Times New Roman
