That's an accent. I can't remember if it's an accente agrafe or an accente ague [sic]. Robin should know, because that accent mark is used in written French.

D?cam?tre
Accent grave = `
Accent ?gout (don't know how to write it for sure) = ?

? is pronounced like in the (English) word "hey"
? is pronounced like in the (English) word "and"

....
I guess

[Andrew_Baker]

Yeah, that's what I meant. It's been... ten years since I last took French class.

[smartguy240]

So how can i use it to make your funky letters?

You need to find out what the character mapping for that certain character is. If you don't have character map, just hold "ALT" and then quickly press a number comination and let go.

Example :
ALT + 81 = Q
ALT + 666 = ?
ALT + 0160 = blank char

[jelleghys]

Or you could just first press the ? or the ` character, let go and than press a vowel.
` + a = ?
?+ a = ?
` + e = ?
....

same as with ? or ^
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
