    Windows has alt codes. Linux has a Unicode method I haven’t memorized yet, and tablets and phones can just long press (at least Àndröîd can). There’s a way, but most people probably don’t know how. I don’t know the Linux way myself due to my relatively recent switch, but I did learn the general codes for Windows Alt+0224 - 0255sh, I try different numbers until I find the one I need (roughly alphabetic, like 0224 is à and 0241 is ñ)

    Looking closer now though it seems that’s only lower case and there are more upper case below 220…

      Like I said, it’s a pain in the butt. I don’t type ñ enough to memorize the code and I don’t care enough to try a few in the ballpark until I find it.
