But note that that is an accent, not an overscore.

No, they are not. There is no ´ (acute accent) key per se; the ' key is used
for apostrophes/single quotes and (when shifted) double quotes, and it is part of the setup key for letters with an acute accent. The ` key, when shifted, gives ~. It's actually rather a mystery why this key is present at all. I do use a tilde (so-called, though it's too low to be an accent over a letter) instead of an en dash or round bullet sometimes to separate items in display text, and of course it's used in URLs, but I see no practical use of the ` at all except as part of the setup key for letters with a grave accent. -- Suzanne S.

Why should there be? The vast majority of English-users never have
occasion to use an accent; there were never accents on US typewriters.

It is *not* a left single quote in Word (which is what this NG is about); it
is a grave accent [U0060]. It can be used in the shortcut Ctrl+`, ` to insert a left single quote if Word's AutoFormat As You Type doesn't do so correctly, but it does not insert the left single quote character [U2018]. It is also an unwarranted intrusion in many contexts. I was frustrated for years with one Web site to which I posted regularly that converted the ' character [U0027] to `, making, for example, "don't" appear as "don`t"--very disconcerting. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne S. Barnhill typed: It is *not* a left single quote in Word (which is what this NG is about); it is a grave accent [U0060]. It can be used in the shortcut Ctrl+`, ` to insert a left single quote if Word's AutoFormat As You Type doesn't do so correctly, but it does not insert the left single quote character [U2018]. And it's NOT what the OP asked for either! HOW do you do the overscore? Jeez, talk about ignoring the OP! Twayne It is also an unwarranted intrusion in many contexts.
