How do I type letters with accents?

Switch on the "Accents" row to get letters like é, ñ, ü, ç, ß and å, plus common symbols such as €, £, ©, ° and ±. Click one to add it to your text.

How do I paste the text somewhere else?

Press "Copy text", then paste it into your email, document or search box with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac), or by long-pressing on a phone.
