Symbols & Diacritical Marks on Letters - Word
A diacritical mark is a mark added to a letter that indicates pronunciation. A symbol is a character like a heart. Here's how to add diacritical marks to letters in Word and insert a symbol. You can also create an AutoCorrect entry for the word so you don't have to add the symbol each time you type the word that needs a diacritical mark. This process also works in Word 2013.
