J with accent ĵ ǰ ɉ — copy & ALT codes
J normally keeps its dot, but ancient Greek scholarship and Czech stack a caron on it (ǰ), Esperanto drops the dot for a circumflex (ĵ), and Dutch digraphs pair it with I as IJ on street signs from Amsterdam to Vlissingen. This page collects every accented j recognized by the Unicode Standard — 5 characters in total (3 lowercase, 2 capital and digraph forms)
Each character can be copied with a single click, typed with its ALT code, or produced with the keyboard shortcuts proven below — no memorisation required if you bookmark this page.

How to type accented j on the keyboard
Two dependable methods, demonstrated with ĵ (j with circumflex) — both tested on Windows 11 and Microsoft 365.
Method 1 — Numeric keypad ALT code
WindowsType ĵ into any Windows program using its ALT code, Alt + 309. You need a working numeric keypad with Num Lock on.
- 1Click exactly where you want the accented j letter to appear — in Word, an email, a browser field, anywhere.
- 2Make sure Num Lock is on. On laptops without a separate keypad, enable the embedded keypad first with Fn + Num Lock.
- 3Press and hold the Alt key.
- 4While keeping Alt held, type 309 on the numeric keypad.
- 5Release Alt — ĵ appears where your cursor is parked.
If a code produces the wrong symbol: very long ALT codes (four digits and beyond) can render as a placeholder glyph in older apps. Repeat the same steps inside a Microsoft Word document — Word resolves the full Unicode range correctly, and you can copy the result anywhere else.
Method 2 — Unicode value + Alt X
Word & OfficeEvery character owns a hexadecimal ID — for ĵ it is U+0135. Microsoft Word converts that ID into the character itself.
- 1Open a Word document (or any Office app that supports Unicode).
- 2Type the four-character code 0135 using your regular keyboard.
- 3Without pressing space, hit Alt + X together.
- 4Word swaps the code for the letter — 0135 becomes ĵinstantly.
This trick works both ways: place your cursor after any accented character and press Alt + X to reveal its Unicode value. It is the fastest way to identify a mystery character you have received in a document.
