Using accent marks on a computer

USING CRYPTIC CODES
If, for some reason, you don’t want to change your keyboard, you can always type in the troublesome cryptic codes. To do this you will hold down the ALT key on your keyboard while typing a specific four digit number, then release the ALT key. You can reference the following codes to specify the letters you would like to input:
-
á = Alt + 0225
-
Á = Alt + 0193
-
é = Alt + 0233
-
É = Alt + 0201
-
í = Alt + 0237
-
Í = Alt + 0205
-
ó = Alt + 0243
-
Ó = Alt + 0211
-
ú = Alt + 0250
-
Ú = Alt + 0218
-
ñ = Alt + 0241
-
Ñ = Alt + 0209
-
ü = Alt + 0252
-
Ü = Alt + 0220
Punctuation marks:
-
¡ = Alt + 0161
-
¿ Alt + 0191
-
« Alt + 0171
-
» Alt + 0187
When using this (out-dated) system, there are two important things to remember. First, when you type in the numbers, some keyboards require that you use the “numeric keypad” located to the side, rather than the numbers along the top. Second, on some keyboards, only one of the two Alt keys will work for this method.
MAC USERS
To get accents on the 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:
-
á = Opt + e, then a
-
é = Opt + e, then e
-
í = Opt + e, then i
-
ó = Opt + e, then o
-
ú = Opt + e, then u
For the ñ, hold down the Option key while you type the n; release and type n again.
-
ñ = Opt + n, then n
To place the diaeresis over the u, hold down the Option key while pressing the u key; release and type u again.
-
ü = Opt + u, then u
The inverted punctuation marks are achieved as follows:
-
¡ = Opt + 1
-
¿ Opt + shift + ?
