Have you ever been in the situation where you are on your laptop and fill up something then suddenly you have to put a letter "ñ"? What would you do? We all know that laptops don't have a numpad which you can easily use ALT+165 or ALT+164.
Laptops lack a numeric keypad, so the shortcut keys ALT+Numpad 0241 will not work. If you don't want to change the default keyboard mappings, you need to use the Character Map applet for most of these tasks.
In Windows Vista, open Start, Search, and enter Character Map in the search box, or you can navigate to it through Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Character Map. From the menu that appears, select the character you want, as shown
Highlight the character, and click the Select button, then click Copy. Use the paste command for whatever application you are using, or press Ctrl+V to put the character where you want it, as shown:
That character is part of the ANSI character set, so it is compatible with nearly every Windows application.
