About French Typing

French uses several accent marks and special characters that aren't found on standard English keyboards. This tool makes it easy to type in French with all the proper accents.

Common French accent marks include:

  • Acute accent (é) - as in café, éducation
  • Grave accent (è, à, ù) - as in très, là, où
  • Circumflex (â, ê, î, ô, û) - as in château, être, île
  • Cedilla (ç) - as in français, garçon
  • Diaeresis (ë, ï, ü) - as in Noël, naïve
  • Ligature (œ) - as in œuvre, cœur

Simply click on the character you need to insert it into your text. You can then copy and paste your text into any application that supports Unicode text.
