Type Tones in the Pinyin Font www.verypracticalchinese.

Here is the Pinyin Font we use in the VPC Book. You might be interested in typing (instead of
handwriting it). Once you get used to the codes for the diacritical markers, it’s possible to type quite
speedily in Pinyin – and it may be easier for you to read/review than your handwriting!

To type these diacritical markers use the following keys:

¯ϔϔϔϔ1 ϔ ϔ ϔ ϔ ϔ ˛ϔϔϔϔϔShift 1ϔ
