Question

How come when I press the question mark and others symbols on my mac it appears letters with accents

Answer 1

This has to do with the language that you set your computer up in.  If you go to system preferences and then go to International, then click on the input menu you will be able to pick the language of your keyboard.  US and Canada (English)  are the same I think, but if you're in doubt, the US doesn't have any of the accents.  

Answer 2

my computer does that too i don't know why but if your looking for like a question mark find one on th internet and copy that and paste it whenever you need to use it.
