There are two easy ways to go about this...

Both methods look scary, but are actually quite simple...
As a bonus, other characters like those needed for Français et Citroën etc. are available on the same table.


1) Select: Start / Search and enter:

Charmap

If it's not installed, go down to #2.

Run it, Select the character and hit:

Copy

Paste it in (Ctrl-V) where you want it to appear.

2) This is more fun. It's also great for making passwords much more secure. Combinations of normal spaces (Alt-32) and Alt-255 (alternative 'space') can be added to the end of a password and will be invisible, yet essential to reinsert in the correct sequence.

BOT...

Google:

"Alt Codes"

Open one of the first few links.

IMPORTANT! For this, you'll need Num Lock ON and you can only use the square numeric keypad. If you're using a laptop without a square keypad, it should still be possible, but you'll have to first depress the Function (Fn) key.

Hold down the Alt key, type in the code and release the Alt key. The character will then appear.

Here are some examples:

Alt-133 = à
Alt-138 = è
Alt-141 = ì
Alt-149 = ò
Alt-151 = ù

There's a more comprehensive four-digit table too. It's also within the first few Google links.

The above respectively, are:

0224, 0232, 0236, 0242, 0249. nb. For acute accents, just add 1 to the code.
eg. 0224 (à) + 1 = 0225 ( á)

You can check the tables for upper-case characters. eg. You'll need Alt-0192 to type Ànge.

Once you've done a few characters using either method, it becomes child's play.
One word of warning... If you print out a character map, check it against the screen. Some printers won't display all the characters correctly.
