How to write the letter Ñ on an English keyboard

Obviously the first option is copying it. In case you have to write a few letters Ñ then it is best to simply copy it from a website and paste it into your document.

Whether you want a lowercase ñ or an uppercase Ñ you can copy and paste it into your document with no problem. Although this is too simple a solution and it can even be complex if you have to add several letters Ñ. For certain cases it is enough and more than enough.

However, if you want to make this letter in your document without depending on copying it from anywhere, what you can do is use this key combination:

Ñ: Alt + 0209

ñ: Alt + 0241

For this letter to appear, you need to hold down the “Alt” key that is on the left side of the space bar. Then you must write the number from the number keyboard that is on the right side of it. It’s no use using the numbers above.

Similarly, the easiest way to do this is by pressing the key in place of the Ñ if you have an English keyboard. This happens when you have Windows configured in Spanish, since it uses that dictionary.

If you have configured the operating system in Spanish, it does not matter if your keyboard is not, Windows will configure all the keys so that they work as if your keyboard were in our language. Likewise at any time if you wish you can change the Windows language or you can also change the language of the keyboard at your convenience.
