F with accents and marks: copy and paste
Use ḟ when you need a dot above F, or ƒ when you need a hooked letter. Check the labels before copying: this collection also contains the Fahrenheit symbol, ℉.
Lowercase f
Uppercase F
Dotted F, hooked F and the Fahrenheit symbol
F with a dot above
Ḟ and ḟ contain a dot above the letter. The dot stays with the character when copied as plain text. Adding a full stop beside an ordinary F creates a different sequence.
F with a hook
Ƒ and ƒ are characters with a hook. Although ƒ can resemble an italic f, changing the font style of plain f does not produce it. Use the actual character if the code or spelling matters.
℉ is a temperature symbol
The Fahrenheit sign combines a degree mark and capital F. It is not a lowercase accented letter, even though it appears in this collection. Choose it for the symbol itself, rather than as a substitute for ḟ or ƒ.
Select a character above and wait for the copy confirmation. Paste into your text with Ctrl + V on Windows, Command + V on Mac, or your phone’s Paste command. For a whole name or sentence, use the online accent keyboard. You can also browse all accent letters from A to Z.

How to type f with an accent on Windows
Using a numeric keypad
Not every marked f has a standard Windows ALT shortcut. For ḟ, copying is the most direct option here. In Word for Windows, you can also use the hexadecimal method described below.
Type ḟ with Alt + X in Word
In Word for Windows, 1E1F is the hexadecimal value for ḟ. Alt + X converts that value into the letter, without requiring a numeric keypad.
- Put your cursor at the insertion point in Word.
- Type 1E1F, without the U+ prefix.
- Highlight only the code, then press ALT + X.
- Check that the code has become ḟ.
See Microsoft’s character-code instructions for details about code entry. For other characters, browse the ALT code directory.
On a Mac, phone, or tablet
On a Mac, try holding a letter key in an app that supports the accent menu. If the form you need is missing, copy it here and paste with Command + V. On a phone or tablet, select a character and use your destination app’s Paste command. See Apple’s accent guide for Mac options.

F with an accent: common questions
Answers to help you choose the correct form and keep its marks intact.
Its name is F with dot above. Copy Ḟ for uppercase or ḟ for lowercase.
No. ƒ has its own character code. Italic formatting changes the appearance of f without changing its identity.
℉ is the single Fahrenheit sign. It is separate from both plain F and the accented F letters.
