There are some characters that can't be accessed by all keyboards. Some of them have shortcuts. This can be useful to know when editing foreign wikis.

Latin

á, à, ä, â, ã, å á à ä â ã å

ñ &ntidle;
ó, ò, ö, ô, õ, ø ó ò ö ô õ ø
ú, ù, ü, û &uacute ù ü û

The latin characters can be changed to capital by changing the first letter. Thus, Ò would make Ò.
