accents

what font do u use to get the accents above the letters??? when i try to type elvish...it never looks rite 🙁 and i dont think i should learn elvish if i dont know how to properly type it 😕

You mean, like in "Andúril", "Nazgûl", "Úlairi" etc?
The problem is - they don't seem to work properly on english keyboards. I couldn't do any while I had an english one, but it seems to work for other people here 😕 there are keys for both ^ and ´ but they somehow dont want to be set above the letters 😕

If you have a lot of time on your hands - type the text in MS word or a similar program and add the accented vowels via the "symbol"-function in the menu...

... or you just don't type them. They symbolize the lengthening of letters, so theoretically you could also write "Anduuril", "Nazguul" and "Uulairi" - but that looks damn wrong and "un-elvish" 😬 you could also just ignore them, most people type "Anduril", "Nazgul", "Ulairi" anyways 😉 it's not 100% correct, but everybody will understand it and it still looks nice 😛

or you could copy and past from exa's posts😛

"Andúril", "Nazgûl", "Úlairi"

even if you can't type them good at least you can say it!

there are ACSII keys for those letters with accents on them. Look for them.

or try things like pressing ALT and then try some numbers on the num block (example: ë=Alt-137; íóú=Alt-161, 162, 163...)
yeah

Or, when posting in a forum, you use the Html-codes - those that look like &xxx;

xxx being the verbal description of the letter you want 😛 like, ë is called euml (e+uml. - the shortcut of the german word "Umlaut" which is also used in other languages for the letters with two points over it, like ä and ö), hence & euml; (without the space) is ë;

This accent ´ is called "acute" in french, hence aacute is á, eacute is é etc.

^ is called circ[umflex] -> & ucirc; = û etc

` - which doesnt occur in the elvish languages - is "grave" -> è, à, ....

😉
