How to put an upper comma

The upper comma or apostrophe, as it is correctly called, is often used in English, French, Ukrainian and Belarusian, but there are cases when it needs to be written in Russian Word. This can be done using the keyboard buttons or a special text editor menu.

Apostrophe is an unbroken spelling symbol in the form of an upper headset, which is applied in Russian in the following cases:

  • foreign names are their own with the apostrophe, most often it is preceded by the letters "D" and "O" (for example, D'Artagnan, O'Connor);
  • foreign geographical names (for example, Côte d'Or);
  • words written by Latinov, with Russian suffix (e-mail'om).
