How to use non-standard English characters on an American keyboard?

open your control penal window > Language link and open it and try to setting targeting language.

A cool windows trick to make accented characters like à, é, etc is to hold alt, press quotes (shift for double quotes), tilde (shift), colon, etc, release all keys, then type a vowel or n. For example, to make ñ, hold alt, shift, tilde, release, and press n. To make é, hold alt, single quote, release and press e.

If there are characters you can't type with this method, you will need a keyboard with a numpad (the part of the keyboard with numbers, on the right side (not the top)). Turn numlock on. Then look up a unicode table on Google and memorize the number next to the character you want. To type it, hold alt, type the code on the numpad, and release alt. Note that you will always need 4 digits, so if the code is 3 digit, add a zero to the beginning of it. For example, the code for Ü is 220. To type it, hold alt, type 0220 on the numpad, and release alt.

Hope I helped!

@George, I have no clue what you said. Please learn some English.
