As of Unicode version 16.0, there are 155,063 characters with code points, covering 168 modern and historical scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets.This article includes the 1,062 characters in the Multilingual European Character Set 2 subset, and some additional related characters.
For compatibility or other reasons, Unicode sometimes assigns two different code points to entities that are essentially the same character. For example, the letter "A with a ring diacritic above" is encoded as U+00C5 Å LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE (a letter of the alphabet in Swedish and several other languages) or as U+212B Å ANGSTROM SIGN.
Combining Diacritical Marks is a Unicode block containing the most common combining characters.It also contains the character "Combining Grapheme Joiner", which prevents canonical reordering of combining characters, and despite the name, actually separates characters that would otherwise be considered a single grapheme in a given context.
In HTML and XML, a numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and uses the format: &#xhhhh;. or &#nnnn; where the x must be lowercase in XML documents, hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form, and nnnn is the code point in decimal form.

The familiar Alt+### combination (where ### is from 0 to 255) retains the old MS-DOS behavior, i.e., generates characters from the legacy code pages now called "OEM code pages." For instance, the combination Alt+ 1 6 3 would result in ú (Latin letter u with acute accent) which is at 163 in the OEM code page of CP437 or CP850. [2]
Some sources distinguish "diacritical marks" (marks upon standard letters in the A–Z 26-letter alphabet) from "special characters" (letters not marked but radically modified from the standard 26-letter alphabet) such as Old English and Icelandic eth (Ð, ð) and thorn (uppercase Þ, lowercase þ), and ligatures such as Latin and Anglo-Saxon Æ (minuscule: æ), and German eszett (ß; final ...
To do this change the first parameter (or the type parameter) to be the type of accent needed and change the second parameter (or the letter parameter) to be the letter to put the accent on. For example to make a ñ you would use {{subst:Accent|~|n}} In this way you can make all of the letters into different accents.
