bilal , this are what are known as dead keys. Here's a wikpedia entry on tht . It's actually used alongwith letters such as ú as for útorrent rather than just plain utorrent ;)

In fact, wikipedia has dedicated a whole impressive page to diacritic . I haven't looked at the article yet but I think it would be saying on the same thing as wikipedia. I've been playing with these for quite a long time.

Thanks for the rep..BLUEDIAMOND

These keys are good for game screennames...for exmaple...in Halo u can make ur own unquie screenname
 
Because they require you to press 4 keys (for ASCII, more for Unicode) as compared to the standard 1.

Do you always do 4 times the work for everything? I guess not.
 
Used to use this in the good ol' days of DOS. Its a great way to prevent someone opening your directory....unless they too know about the codes....
