How to Use Turkish Symbols in Word
Turkish words include letters with accents and symbols that indicate how to pronounce the word correctly. Computers with English language keyboards do not include keys with Turkish symbol font characters, but all computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system come with language packs for all the main languages, including Turkish. To use Turkish symbols in Microsoft Word documents, first install the Turkish as an additional language in the computer’s Control Panel.
