How do you type a long vowel sound?

Answer 1

A long vowel has the bar or macron on top to indicate that it "says its name" (AY, EE, eye, OH, and OO or YOO).

The long vowel symbols are on the Windows Character Map (ā,ē, ī, ō, ū ). The pair OO with macron does not seem to be in Unicode.

Answer 2

To type a long vowel sound with accents or macrons on a computer, you can use special characters or symbols provided by the operating system or by using keyboard shortcuts. For example in Windows, you can use the Character Map tool or Alt key shortcuts to input characters with macrons like "ā" for a long 'a' sound. On Mac, you can hold down a vowel key for accents. Alternatively, you can use the language settings to switch to a keyboard layout that includes the necessary characters for long vowels.
