Typing ñ and ü

Typing the Spanish letters ñ  and   ü is much like typing the Spanish letters in the previous post. That is to say, hold down the Alt key and type the four number code. The first two numbers are 02 for both letters. With that in mind, you only have to remember the last two digits.

The code for typing ñ: Alt+0241

The code for typing ü: Alt+0252

I attach ages to the numbers that relate to the Spanish letters.

 The ñ  is a dead ringer for a head with a toupee. 41 is an average age when men lose their hair and go with this bad judgment.
The Spanish n
ñ = Alt+0241


The ü resembles a smiley face because when you are 52 there are a few more things to smile about.
The Spanish ü
ü=Alt+0252

Typing á, é, í, ó And ú


Typing the lower case Spanish vowels when they  have accents marks.


 Just like the previous post, you could configure your keyboard so that you don't have to type

á, é, í, ó, and  ú the long way but it is not always possible. 


  • Alt+0225= á
  • Alt+0233= é
  • Alt+0237= í
  • Alt+0243=ó
  • Alt+0250=ú


Notice each of the number codes begin with a zero and a two. If you can remember that, all you have to do is come up with the last two digits. I think of a timeline with ages on it to stick in my memory.
