Howdy May!

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for sharing your question with us. Also, welcome to the community!

• If you or your students are using a smart device/iPad/phone, you just hold the letter and usually you will get a pop-up selection accents.
• On a non-mobile browser, you can use alt codes for accents.
• Also, computers often have character maps (not on Macs).

You can also switch "keyboards" (not the physical keyboard, but changing it from EN (English language keyboard setting) to INT (international keyboard).

Here's 3 ways to type foreign language characters.

Hope that helps!

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/
