I teach French and want students to answer fill-in-the-blank and essay questions on quizzes in Canvas, but I don't know of any way for them to type letters with French diacritics (such as acute, grave, and circumflex accents) in Canvas. Is this possible, or do I simply have to give up on using such questions or, if I do use them, give up on expecting students to use proper diacritics?

I have a related question: I was trying to ask a "fill in the gap" kind of question but Canvas would not recognize any Umlaute (German characters).

To easily allow users to insert non-standard characters into the Canvas rich content editor there is the Special Characters external tool that adds a button to the editor to allow characters to be inserted. The tool is quick and simple to setup, more details are available on: https://www.wyelearning.com/support/characters/
