How to Type Spanish Letters and Accents (á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ, ¿, ¡)
67.5K There are several ways to configure your keyboard to type in the Spanish accented letters and upside-down punctuation (á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ, ¿, ¡) and which one you use depends on the frequency with which you need these letters.
- Inserting Accented Characters with an English Keyboard Layout
If you only need an accented character every now and then, there is no need to change your full keyboard layout.
There are several key combinations you can use to insert single characters into your text on a PC. The first is for newer computers using the Control key and may only work in Microsoft Office.
In Office for Windows: For accented vowles: Press Ctrl + ‘, then the vowel (ctrl + ' + a = á)
For Ñ: Press Ctrl + ~, then the letter n (ctrl + ~ + n = ñ)
The second way is using the ASCII code. Each character in your computer has a code made up of pressing the ALT key then a three-digit number, all of which are listed below.
á = Alt + 0225
é = Alt + 0233
í = Alt + 0237
ó = Alt + 0243
ú = Alt + 0250
ñ = Alt + 0241
ü = Alt + 0252
¡ = Alt + 0161
¿ = Alt + 0191
To type the numbers, you must use the numeric keypad on the right side of your keyboard, not the number keys on the top row.
To get accented vowels on a Mac, hold down the Option key, and while holding it down, type the letter e; then release those keys and type the letter that you want the accent to appear on:
Opt + e, then a = á
Opt + e, then e = é
Opt + e, then i = í
Opt + e, then o = ó
Opt + e, then u = ú
For the ñ, hold down the Option key while you type the n, then type n again.
Opt + n, then n = ñ
To type an umlaut over the u, hold down the Option key while pressing the u key then type u again.
Opt + u, then u = ü
*To type the upside-down punctuation marks press the following keys all at once.
Opt + 1 = ¡
Opt + shift + ? = ¿
- Full Keyboard Configuration
For those using Spanish letters and punctuation on a regular basis, I recommend going into your Control Panel/System Preferences and add the Spanish keyboard configuration. This will mean you need to learn the new key placements, but it is very easy once you get used to it.
For Windows Vista
Go to your Control Panel Click on 'Clock, Language, Region Click on 'Change Keyboards' Click 'Add' and Select 'Spanish-International Sort' For Windows XP:
Go to your Control Panel Click on 'Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options' Click on 'Regional and Language Options' Select the 'Languages' tab at the top Click on 'Details' near the bottom Click 'Add' and choose 'Spanish-Traditional Sort' Go back to the 'Languages' tab and choose the option to 'switch languages' by pressing 'left alt-shift' at the same time. This way, you can switch to and from the Spanish and regular keyboard whenever you want. For Macs
Go to your System Preferences Click on 'International' Select the 'Input Menu' tab Scroll down to select 'Spanish - ISO' Note the keystrokes necessary to switch between languages OR Select 'Show input menu in menu bar' to be able to click-select which keyboard you want to use.

Spanish-International Sort Keyboard Key Strokes
' + a = á
' + e = é
' + i = í
' + o = ó
' + u = ú
' + u = ü
Once you have installed your Spanish keyboard, it will react slightly differently than you are used to. First, you will notice that when you type an apostrophe ( ' ), nothing happens. This is because if you type a vowel immediately after, you will get an accented vowel (á, é, í, ó, ú). To get an apostrophe, push the key for the hyphen, next to the number 0. You can see several other changes in the picture below.
The quotes ( ' ) key behaves the same way as the apostrophe key in that it gives you the umlaut ( ¨ ) rather than quotes for the letter (ü) in words like 'lingüística'. To type in regular quotes, simply press shift then the number 2.
The semicolon ( ; ) key has also been replaced by the ñ. To type a regular semicolon, simply press shift then the comma key.

When writing about people, places, or other things that use accents and other special symbols outside the 26 letters of the standard English alphabet, there are ways to add them to a document without simply using the accentless version of the letter. This AppleInsider guide offers a variety of ways to use the right accent when writing in macOS.
Apple has added a fair number of methods to enter text into a document that isn't possible by normal typing, and over the years it has expanded some ways to make them extremely useful for non-language purposes, such as emoji. Each method is useful in different ways, ranging from being the best for working at speed, to even adding the special characters without touching the keyboard at all.
The most useful method to add typical characters to a document is to use the Option key on the keyboard, as it can be performed very quickly compared to the other ways if you memorize the keyboard layout. If you hold down Option and then press a letter on the keyboard, it will insert a different character into the document, one that's typically associated with the letter in some way.
For example, Option-P will type the Pi symbol, Option-R will show the registered trademark logo, and Option-V will place the square root mathematical symbol.
The full list of symbols can be shown in Keyboard Viewer, which can be activated by various ways, but the most direct way is to select the Apple logo in the Menu followed by clicking System Preferences. Select the Keyboard icon.
In the first Keyboard tab, tick the checkbox marked Show keyboard and emoji viewers in the menu bar.
This will place a new icon in the menu bar, near to the clock on the right. Click the icon followed by Show Keyboard Viewer.
The new window will show the typical keyboard layout based on the country set up within the Input Sources section of the Keyboard settings. As you type on the physical keyboard, the virtual keyboard will react to show what keys are pressed, and will change if certain buttons are held down, such as the Shift key.
If you hold down the Option key while this is opened, it will show all of the symbols that can be typed, and which key it relates to.
You will notice that some keys will turn orange and show accents. These keys are designated for typing accented characters, and work by pressing that key while Option is held, then release Option and type the letter you wish to apply the accent to.
If you are having trouble working out which key types which symbol, you can instead hold Option on the physical keyboard, then click the required symbol or accent on the on-screen version to type it into the document.
Another way of typing symbols is to hold down the key for a few seconds to bring up a list of accented versions and related symbols that can be typed. While still holding the key down, press the number next to the accented version of the letter you want typed, and release all keys.
This method is useful if you only want to stick to the most-used accents, which does limit its usability if more exotic symbols are required, but it also doesn't require any memory of where accent keys or specific symbols are located, as with the Option key method.
Note this version will work in many cases where a text entry box or a text editor is in use, but not every case. For example, this method will not work in OpenOffice Writer, instead opting to repeatedly type the letter, but works fine in the Chrome address bar and TextEdit.
The page then allows you to use your search results to download products, view keys, and view product and key descriptions.When you select a product, for example “Windows 10 Enterprise” or “Windows 10 Education”, you can then choose the specific release by clicking Download and choosing the Download Method, Language, and Operating system Type (bitness).

While this method is probably best known as a way to include emoji in a message, it has applications far wider than adding smiley faces and fire symbols.
Place the cursor where you want to type the character, and press Command-Control-Space. This action will tend to bring up a smaller box with a search bar at the top and a long list of emoji and other symbols that are not accents, except for any previously selected symbols that can appear in the Frequently Used section at the top.
Next to the search box is a small icon, the same one that appears in the menu bar for Method 1. Click the icon to bring up the main Character Viewer window. Select Latin on the left to bring up the accented letters list, and click on the one you want to insert into the document.
If you have already ticked the checkbox to add the Show keyboard and emoji viewers in the menu bar from Method 1, this same Character Viewer window can be summoned by mouse alone, by clicking the keyboard preferences icon in the Menu bar then Show Emoji & Symbols. If the smaller emoji-focused version appears, click the same icon in the window to switch to the main Character Viewer.
Select Latin, then click the accented character you want to type.
