How many letters are in the Norwegian alphabet?

Twenty-nine. The first 26 are the standard Latin letters A–Z, followed by three additional letters æ, ø and å appended at the end in that fixed order.

What are the Unicode code points for æ, ø and å?

Lowercase: æ is U+00E6, ø is U+00F8 and å is U+00E5. Uppercase: Æ is U+00C6, Ø is U+00D8 and Å is U+00C5. All sit in the Latin-1 Supplement block.

Is the Norwegian alphabet the same as Danish?

For these three letters, yes. Danish shares the same æ, ø and å in the same final order. Swedish differs: it ends with å, ä and ö instead, so the sets are not interchangeable.

How do I type æ, ø and å?

On a Norwegian keyboard they have dedicated keys to the right of the letter keys. On other layouts you can use Alt codes (Alt+0230 for æ, Alt+0248 for ø, Alt+0229 for å) or your operating system's character picker.

The Norwegian alphabet extends the Latin script with three extra letters. This reference lists all 29 letters with their Unicode code points and shows exactly where æ, ø and å sit and how to type them.

How it works

The table is generated from the alphabet itself:

Positions 1–26 are the basic Latin letters A–Z.
Positions 27, 28 and 29 are Æ, Ø and Å, appended at the end in that order.
Each row shows the uppercase and lowercase forms with their U+ code points, and the extra letters also include keyboard and Alt-code hints.

A filter lets you show only the three extra letters when that is all you need.

Tips and notes

Remember that æ, ø and å come after z, never interleaved with a, o or other vowels — this matters for sorting and indexing. The same three letters in the same order are used in Danish, while Swedish ends with å, ä, ö instead. All six extra characters live in the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block, so they are widely supported across fonts and systems.
