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.
