L with accent ĺ ļ ľ ŀ — copy & ALT codes

L splits three ways. Polish turns ł into a “w” sound, making Wałęsa nearly impossible to guess from its spelling. Croatian pairs it with j (ǉ). Catalan writes a middle dot (ŀ) between doubled Ls, and Slovak stretches it with acute and caron forms. This page collects every accented l recognized by the Unicode Standard — 27 characters in total (13 lowercase, 14 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 l on the keyboard

Two dependable methods, demonstrated with ĺ (l with acute) — both tested on Windows 11 and Microsoft 365.

Method 1 — Numeric keypad ALT code

Windows

Type ĺ into any Windows program using its ALT code, Alt + 314. You need a working numeric keypad with Num Lock on.

1Click exactly where you want the accented l 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 314 on the numeric keypad.
5Release Alt — ĺ 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 & Office

Every character owns a hexadecimal ID — for ĺ it is U+013A. 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 013A using your regular keyboard.
3Without pressing space, hit Alt + X together.
4Word swaps the code for the letter — 013A becomes ĺinstantly.

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.

Accented L — questions people ask

The Windows ALT code for ĺ (Latin Small Letter L with Acute) is Alt + 314. Hold Alt, type 3, 1, 4 on the numeric keypad and release Alt. Inside Word you can type 013A followed by Alt + X instead — or simply click the character on this page to copy it.

On Windows use Alt + 313 with the numeric keypad; in Microsoft Word type 0139 then press Alt + X. On a Mac, press the matching Option-key accent, release, then type Shift + L. Copy-and-paste from the grid above works in every program.

Hold the Option key together with the accent key, release, then press l. Option + E applies an acute accent, Option + ` a grave, Option + I a circumflex, Option + N a tilde and Option + U an umlaut. Alternatively press and hold the l key and a pop-up menu lists every variation.

Characters beyond the first 256 code points need full Unicode support. When a long ALT code shows a placeholder symbol, redo the steps inside Word — it resolves the complete range — or copy the letter directly from this page, which works in every modern application.
