Every accented Vietnamese letter on one page, ready to copy with a single click — the seven special letters of chữ Quốc ngữ in both cases, then each vowel with all five tone marks, named by tone: huyền, sắc, hỏi, ngã, and nặng.
The seven modified letters that set the Vietnamese alphabet apart from plain Latin — the breve (ă), circumflex (â, ê, ô), horn (ơ, ư), and the stroked đ — in lower and upper case.
Each base vowel with the five tone marks: huyền (falling), sắc (rising), hỏi (dipping), ngã (creaky rising), and nặng (heavy). The sixth tone, ngang, is the unmarked letter itself.
The remaining base vowels with all five tone marks. Every character here is a single precomposed Unicode letter, so it copies and pastes as one glyph.

Vietnamese is written in chữ Quốc ngữ ('national language script'), a Latin alphabet devised by Catholic missionaries in the 17th century and codified in Alexandre de Rhodes' 1651 Vietnamese–Portuguese–Latin dictionary. It replaced the Chinese-character-based chữ Nôm as the standard script in the early 20th century, making Vietnamese the only major language of East and Southeast Asia written natively in Latin letters. The alphabet modifies its base letters two ways: quality marks — the breve on ă, circumflex on â, ê, ô, horn on ơ, ư, and the stroke on đ — reshape the vowel or consonant itself, while tone marks are stacked on top of vowels.
Vietnamese has six tones, and five of them carry a written mark: huyền (grave, falling), sắc (acute, rising), hỏi (hook above, dipping), ngã (tilde, creaky rising), and nặng (dot below, short and heavy). The sixth tone, ngang, is simply the unmarked vowel. Tone changes meaning completely — the classic set ma, mà, má, mả, mã, mạ runs through ghost, but/and, mother, tomb, horse, and rice seedling. Because the twelve vowel letters each combine with five marks, the full inventory reaches sixty toned vowels per case, and letters like ệ or ữ stack a quality mark and a tone mark on the same base.
Every character on this page is a single precomposed Unicode codepoint. The plainer accents (à, é, ì, ó, ù, ý) live in Latin-1 Supplement and Latin Extended-A, while the doubly accented forms — ắ, ề, ộ, ữ, and their siblings — fill much of the Latin Extended Additional block (U+1E00–U+1EFF), a range added largely for Vietnamese. Precomposed means each letter copies as one self-contained glyph rather than a base letter plus combining marks, so pasted Vietnamese renders identically in documents, browsers, games, and social apps, and characters never fall apart into stray accents.
Yes. Every character here is a standard precomposed Unicode letter, and modern fonts on all platforms cover the Vietnamese ranges. Bios, captions, comments, and messages on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and X display them correctly. Only ASCII-restricted fields, such as some email addresses and account handles, will reject the accented forms.
Each mark is a pitch pattern: huyền (à) falls, sắc (á) rises, hỏi (ả) dips and returns, ngã (ã) rises with a creaky break, and nặng (ạ) drops short and heavy. Unmarked vowels carry the level ngang tone. Tone is not decoration — má means mother while mạ means rice seedling — so always copy the exact toned letter you need.
Vietnamese separates vowel quality from tone. The breve, circumflex, and horn define which vowel it is — a, ă, and â are three different vowels — and the tone mark is layered on top of that. So ặ is ă carrying the nặng tone, and ữ is ư carrying ngã. Each combination is still a single Unicode character that copies as one glyph.
No — they are separate letters with separate sounds. Đ with the stroke is pronounced like an English 'd,' while plain d sounds like 'z' in northern Vietnam and 'y' in the south, which is why Đà Nẵng and dịch begin with different consonants. In dictionaries đ is alphabetized as its own letter immediately after d, and Unicode encodes it at U+0111.
Use the free online Vietnamese Telex keyboard linked below. Telex builds accents from plain keystrokes — aa gives â, aw gives ă, ow gives ơ, dd gives đ — and the letters s, f, r, x, j add the sắc, huyền, hỏi, ngã, and nặng tones. It runs in your browser with nothing to install and is far faster than a copy-paste chart for full sentences.
