To type in SENĆOŦEN on Mac or PC, turn CAPS LOCK on. To type a special character, type the base character and then type an accenting key. (Ṯ is typed T then Semicolon ;)

  • To type the acute accent use the Apostrophe key ' — Ć is typed C then Apostrophe '

  • To type the dash accent use the Hyphen key - — Ŧ is typed T then Hyphen -
  • There are two options to type the low line accent:
    • Use the Semicolon key ; — Ṉ is typed N then Semicolon ;
    • Use the Underscore key _ — Ṉ is typed N then Shift-Underscore _
  • To type cedilla (glottal stop) press Shift+Comma , OR turn on Caps Lock and type Comma , (Cedilla is treated as capitalized comma.)
  • Opening and closing quotes. For Mac users, Right-Alt is either of the Option Keys.
