How to write the circumflex accent mark with your keyboard according to the operating system of your computer?
From the keyboard of our personal computers it is possible to insert different characters , symbols or punctuation marks, regardless of your operating system. The circumflex accent sign, which is also known as power or caret, will not be the exception. Next we will show you how to place this little inverted ^ above the letters.
Windows
If you are using a PC with a Windows operating system, you can insert the circumflex sign from the keyboard. To perform this operation we must use the numeric keyboard that is to the right of it. Then we will enter an ASII code , in this case it will be code 94.
To get started, you must first lock the number pad by pressing the ‘Num Lock’ key on the top left. Now you must press the ‘Alt + 94’ keys and when you release the circumflex accent sign will appear on the screen .
To accentuate vowels whether they are uppercase or lowercase, you must press the ‘NumLock’ key to block it. Then press the following codes:.
- ‘Alt + 0194’ will appear
- ‘Alt + 0202’ will appear Ê
- ‘Alt + 0206’ will appear Î
- ‘Alt + 0212’ will appear Ô
- ‘Alt + 0219’ will appear Û
- ‘Alt + 0226’ will appear â
- ‘Alt + 0234’ will appear ê
- ‘Alt + 0238’ will appear î
- ‘Alt + 0244’ will appear ô
- ‘Alt + 0251’ will appear û
GNU y Linux
We can apply something similar to GNU and Linux operating systems, but instead of entering ASII codes, we will enter hexadecimal values . In the case of wanting to put the circumflex accent from the keyboard, we must simultaneously press the ‘Ctrl + Shift + u’ keys. Now we must release only the letter ‘u’ and press ‘5e’ which represents the sign.
MacOS
In the case of using a computer that works in an iOS environment, you can insert the circumflex accent from the keyboard , through the accents menu. To do this, we must write the letter that needs the circumflex accent and hold it down until a box appears. This will be the ‘accent menu’. Also choose the character we need in the document.
Another way to do this is through the character viewer. In this case we must select the text where the circumflex sign will be inserted and then we must select ‘Edit’. Therefore we choose the ‘Emoji symbol’ option and in this way the viewer will appear.
Using the keyboard paths, we can also make the viewer appear. To do this we press the keyboard shortcuts ‘ Control + Command + space bar’. Now, we just have to scroll in the character viewer to find the sign we need in this way. Once we find it, we click on it.
A point to highlight according to the previous information is that from this viewer we can also insert other symbols such as the apostrophe for our documents. Regardless of the operating system, we can use these diacritics to our advantage.
