How to type accents on text in Ps

Win 11. CC2022, latest version. Laptop w/o dedicated number pad.

 

I need to type a few accents on some text in Ps. Have done a web search and can find nothing useful. 

 

How can accents be placed on characters in Ps? Or is it even possible?

 

Useful thoughts appreciated.

 

Thank  you.

In addition to Copy and Paste from the Character Map app that's built into Windows, you can also use the Glyphs panel that's built into Photoshop (my preference).

 

Windows Character Map:

 

Photoshop's Glyphs panel:

Type menu > Panels > Glyphs panel or Window menu > Glyphs

The recent glyphs will appear on the top bar so they can be used again quickly.

Same way as any other Windows app. Check out the Character Map app for character charts for each font.
