To type ə, hold down the Alt key and type 0601 on the number pad.

Ensure that numlock is on. You must use the number pad and not the numbers across the top of the keyboard.


This is a unicode character and will not display properly in all contexts. For example, it works in Wordpad, but not in Notepad.


If you are having trouble getting this to work, you can launch the Windows "Character Map". On my system it is located at "Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools" (this may vary with different versions of Windows).


In the Character Map, locate the Schwa symbol, you may then select it, and copy it for pasting someplace else.


Also you notice, when the Schwa is selected in the Character Map, the status bar reads U+0259. 259 is the Unicode number for this symbol in hexadecimal. 0x259 converted into decimal is 601, which is the code typed on the number pad. This can be used to type any Unicode character, if you are using an application that supports Unicode.
