Spanish has some characters that are not in the English alphabet. It is possible to type them on Windows using Alt + numeric keypad codes. For example, typing 0241 on the numeric keypad while holding the Alt key will produce ñ.

Here is a list of special Spanish characters:

• Á – 0193
• á – 0225
• É – 0201
• é – 0233
• Í – 0205
• í – 0237
• Ó – 0211
• ó – 0243
• Ú – 0218
• ú – 0250
• Ñ – 0209
• ñ – 0241
• ü – 0252
• ¡ – 0161 (inverted exclamation mark)
• ¿ – 0191 (inverted question mark)

A complete list of Windows Alt key codes with various mathematical, currency, and additional punctuation characters appears here.
