Choose the right accented N
Accented N characters are used in Spanish, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Latvian, Irish typography, transliteration, and other writing systems. The mark is part of the character, so match the original spelling rather than choosing by appearance alone.

KEYBOARD METHODS
How to type n with accent
Use the numeric keypad
Turn Num Lock on. Hold Alt, enter 0241 on the numeric keypad, and release Alt to produce ñ.
Use the numeric keypad for listed Alt codes, not the number row. A listed code may depend on Windows and the active character set.
Use an accent key or menu
On the US or ABC layout, press Option + N, release, and type N for ñ. The press-and-hold menu may also offer ñ and ń. For ň, ņ, and dotted forms, use Character Viewer or copy the required character from this page.
Shortcuts described here assume the US or ABC input layout. Another selected layout can assign different keys.
Hold the base letter
Touch and hold N on the on-screen keyboard. Keep your finger down, slide to the character you need, and release. Switch to uppercase before holding the key for a capital letter.
The available characters depend on your keyboard and enabled languages. Add a relevant language keyboard if the required form does not appear.
Convert a code or use dead keys
In Microsoft Word for Windows, type a hexadecimal value without U+, then press Alt + X. For example, type 00F1 and convert it to ñ. Select only the code before converting if another letter or number comes immediately before it.
The US-International layout can produce ñ with the tilde dead key followed by N and ń with the apostrophe dead key followed by N. Other forms depend on the selected language layout. In Word, the Unicode values in the table work consistently with Alt+X.

MEANING & SPELLING
Using n with accent correctly
Spanish ñ is a separate alphabet letter called eñe. Polish ń represents a different sound from plain n. Czech and Slovak use ň, while Latvian uses ņ. Dotted and underlined N forms appear mainly in particular orthographies or transliteration systems.
A broad N reference is useful when the user knows the base letter but cannot identify the mark. If you specifically need the Spanish letter, the focused N with tilde page provides Spanish spelling, enye terminology, and device instructions in greater depth.
Unicode includes both precomposed letters and combining sequences. For ordinary names and words, the precomposed character shown here is usually easiest to copy. A visually identical combining sequence can contain more than one code point, which matters in search, validation, and character limits.
Ñ, Ń, Ǹ, and Ň are not interchangeable
Ñ has a tilde, Ń has an acute accent, Ǹ has a grave accent, and Ň has a caron. Ņ carries a cedilla below the letter. Each has a different Unicode value and belongs to different spelling systems.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about n with accent
What accents can appear on N?
Common forms include N with tilde, acute, grave, caron, and cedilla. Unicode also includes N with a dot above, dot below, and line below.
Is ñ the same as n with an accent?
N with accent is a broad search description. In Spanish, ñ is a separate letter called eñe, not an optional decoration on n.
How do I type ń in Microsoft Word?
Type 0144 and press Alt+X for lowercase ń. Type 0143 and press Alt+X for uppercase Ń.
Why does ņ sometimes look like N with a comma?
Fonts commonly shape the Latvian mark beneath lowercase letters like a comma. The encoded character is still named N with cedilla in Unicode.
Should I copy a precomposed N or add a combining mark?
Use the precomposed character when it exists and matches the required spelling. Combining marks are useful for combinations that do not have a single precomposed character.
