If you are using a PC with a Windows operating system, you can insert the circumflex accent mark from the keyboard. To perform this operation we must use the numeric keyboard that is to the right of it. Then we will enter an ASII code, in this case it will be code 94.

For accentuate vowels whether uppercase or lowercase you must press the ‘Num Lock’ key to lock it. Then press the following codes:.

Now we must release only the letter ‘u’ and press ‘5e’ which represents the sign.

Another way to do it is through the character viewer. In this case we must select the text where the circumflex sign will be inserted and then we must select ‘Edit’. Therefore we choose the ‘Emoji symbol’ option and in this way the viewer will appear.
Using the keyboard paths, we can also make the viewer appear. To do this, press the keyboard shortcuts ‘Control + Command + spacebar’. Now, we just have to scroll in the character viewer to find the sign we need in this way. Once we find it, we click on it.
