Dead Keys

Type a dead key (shown in yellow) followed by a letter for the following characters on Mac OS X and Windows.
A dead key followed by a space produces a spacing modifier; followed by Alt-Space produces a combining mark.

1	´	acute	1 = single acute; next to grave
2	˝	double acute	2 = double acute; close to grave
3	˙	dot
4	¨	diaeresis
5	˚	ring	circles of percent sign resemble ring
6	ˆ	circumflex	key has a circumflex on it
7	ˇ	caron	7 resembles caron; next to circumflex
8	˘	breve	8 is round like breve
9	˜	tilde	9 = nueve starts with N
0	¯	macron	next to hyphen
,	¸	cedilla	comma resembles cedilla
.	˛	ogonek	next to cedilla
/	⁄	stroke	slash resembles stroke
