Accent Letters adds a button to the block editor toolbar that puts the right character exactly where the cursor is. It covers **682 accented Latin letters used across 55 languages**, generated from the Unicode Character Database and CLDR rather than typed by hand, so the names, code points and language lists are consistent and complete. **Finding a letter** The point of the plugin is not the grid — it is not having to hunt through one. You can search by: * the letter itself, or a plain one: `e` finds é è ê ë ē ĕ ė ę ě * its name: `e acute`, `o slash`, `c cedilla` * the accent in plain words: `two dots` finds every diaeresis, `little hook` finds the ogoneks * the language: `Polish`, `Vietnamese`, `Turkish` — or use the one-click language filters **What it does not do** * It does not add markup to your posts. The character is inserted as text, and nothing else changes. * It does not phone home. Nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no tracking, no account and no upsell. * It does not slow the editor down. The letter data is a separate file that is only fetched the first time you open the picker, so the editor loads at its normal speed for everyone who never uses it. Formatting is preserved: insert an accent in the middle of a bold or linked word and it stays part of that word instead of breaking the formatting in two. ### Source code and build process This plugin ships its complete, unminified source. `build/index.js` is generated from the files in src/, which are included in the plugin so the compiled asset can be read, modified and rebuilt by anyone. * `src/index.js` registers the block editor format type and the toolbar button. * `src/picker.js` is the letter picker UI. * `src/insert.js` is the caret insertion logic. * `src/index.css` is the picker stylesheet. * `data/letters.json` is the letter data, generated from the Unicode Character Database and CLDR. To rebuild from source, from the plugin directory: ``` npm install npm run build ``` That runs `wp-scripts build` (from the official @wordpress/scripts package), which compiles `src/` into `build/`. No other build tooling is used, and no third-party libraries are bundled: React and the WordPress packages are loaded as script dependencies rather than included in the file. ## Screenshots [⌊The picker: 682 letters, searchable by letter, name, language or accent.⌉⌊The picker: 682 letters, searchable by letter, name, language or accent.⌉[ The picker: 682 letters, searchable by letter, name, language or accent.

Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/accent-letters`, or install it through Plugins Add New. 2. Activate it. 3. Edit any post or page, click into a text block, and choose the **Accent Letters** button in the block toolbar. ## FAQ ### Does it work in the classic editor? No. It uses the block editor’s toolbar and caret, so it needs the block editor ( WordPress 6.5 or newer). ### Does it work in every block? It works in any block with rich text — paragraph, heading, list, quote, table cell, caption and so on. ### Where does the letter data come from? From the Unicode Character Database and CLDR, via the same generated dataset used by accentletters.wiki. It ships with the plugin, so the picker works without a network connection. ### Does it send anything to a third party? No. The only request it makes is for its own data file, from your own site. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Accent Letters” is open source software.
