Typing Italian on your keyboard

The Italian layout gives è é à ì ò ù as direct keys in lowercase and has no dead keys at all. That means the accented capitals À È É Ì Ò Ù simply cannot be typed. hence the habit of writing E’ instead of È, and the constant searches for Alt+0200 and Alt+0192. Use the copy buttons here, or the Alt, Mac and Word methods listed on each letter page.
