The highlighted key represents the key held down on the keyboard—in this case, the Option key.

To type a character with a diacritical mark (such as an acute accent or an umlaut), you press the Option key along with a specific letter key, and then type the character.

Diacritical mark	Key combination

Grave accent ( ` )	Option–`, then type the character
Acute accent ( ´ )	Option–e, then type the character
Circumflex (^)	Option–i, then type the character
Tilde (~)	Option–n, then type the character
Umlaut ( ¨ )	Option–u, then type the character
The letter “c” with a cedilla (ç)	Option–c

If the character appears after the diacritical mark (rather than with it), then the marked character is not available in the font you’re using.
