Which Accent Do You Need?
Acute accents (á é í ó ú) mark the stressed syllable in a Spanish word — and they can change the meaning, which is why spelling them correctly matters:
sí = yes · si = if
tú = you · tu = your
él = he · el = the
papá = dad · papa = potato / Pope
The letter ü is called u with diaeresis — it appears in words like pingüino (penguin), where the u is pronounced as its own sound. Spanish questions and exclamations open with an inverted mark: ¿ at the start of a question and ¡ at the start of an exclamation. The letter ñ is different again — it is a separate letter, not an accented n. For Ñ and ñ, see the Enye copy page.
How to Type Spanish Accents on Any Keyboard
The quickest method for each device — no special keyboard needed.
Windows (Alt codes)
With Num Lock on and a numeric keypad, hold Alt and type the number: á = Alt + 0225, é = Alt + 0233, í = Alt + 0237, ó = Alt + 0243, ú = Alt + 0250, ü = Alt + 0252, ñ = Alt + 0241. Full table below.
Windows Laptop (no numpad)
Copy from this page, or add the US-International keyboard in Settings — then type ‘ followed by the letter for an acute accent (for example ‘ + a = á), and AltGr + ? for ¿.
Mac
Press Option + E, release, then press the letter for an acute accent. For ü: Option + U, release, then u. For ñ: Option + N, release, then n. For ¿: Option + Shift + ? — for ¡: Option + 1.
iPhone, iPad & Android
Long-press the letter on your keyboard, slide to the accent version, and release. To type ¿, long-press the ? key. To type ¡, long-press the ! key.
Chromebook & Linux
Press Ctrl + Shift + U, type the Unicode (for example 00e1 for á, 00f3 for ó, 00e9 for é), then press Enter.
Word, Excel & Google Docs
Word: press Ctrl + ‘ (apostrophe), release, then type the letter for an acute accent. Excel: =UNICHAR(225) gives á; =UNICHAR(241) gives ñ. Google Docs: Insert → Special characters → search “acute”.
