Spanish n With a Tilde Alt Code Shortcut (Windows)

The Spanish n With Tilde Alt Code is 165 or 164.

On Windows, alt codes are used to type symbols or characters that are not available on the keyboard.

This method is extremely beneficial because it saves a significant amount of time when trying to type special characters.

The following are the steps you can take to type the Spanish n With a Tilde on Windows using the Alt Code keyboard shortcut:

• Open your document where the Spanish n With Tilde is to be typed.
• The cursor should be positioned in the desired location.
• Press and hold on one of your keyboard’s Alt Keys.
• As you hold down the Alt key, use the numeric keypad on the right to type the N With Tilde Alt code (165 for uppercase n with tilde or 164 lowercase n with tilde)
• Release the alt key after typing the code.

As soon as you let go of the Alt key, the Spanish Ñ With Tilde will appear.

The following rules must be followed in order for the N With a Tilde Alt Code to work.

• Before typing the code, you must hold down the Alt key.
• To type the alt code, you must use the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard.
• The NumLock must be enabled because you are using the 10-key numeric keypad. When you turn off NumLock, the number keys become disabled, and you won’t be able to type any numbers.
• If you’re using a laptop that doesn’t have a numeric keypad, you’ll need to activate the hidden numeric keypad first. On most laptops, you can turn it on by pressing the Fn + NmLk keys at the same time. A hidden numeric keypad isn’t found on every laptop. If it doesn’t appear in yours, you won’t be able to type symbols using the alt code method unless you connect an external keyboard with a numeric keypad or use the on-screen keyboard. Yet still, you can use the other methods discussed in this guide.
• You should also be aware that, depending on the text editor you’re using, not all symbols can be typed with the alt code. Only Microsoft Word recognizes some of the alt codes.
