    The ol’ Buckaroo apparently has no knowledge of the role of a pinata.(As I have no knowledge related to the typing of a tilde.)

    You say piñata, I say piñata … let’s call the whole thing off.

    Hi unnormal- for an n tilde, you use alt code 164 for lower case and alt 165 for upper case. Or, copy and paste. (You hold down the Alt key while typing 1 6 4 on the numeric pad – not the horizontal row of numbers above the alphabet. The ñ appears after you release the alt key.) Just google “alt codes” for all sorts of lists and info. But, if you don’t really not know, or don’t really care, but were just making a joke, then… never mind … I’ll see myself out… :)

    MayKitten, looks like I was typing my response as you posted yours. Since we offered different code numbers, I’ll go ahead and leave mine up, too, in case the different numbers might make a difference to some computers.

    @MayKittenand @Arianne

    For some reason, those “codes” using the ALT key plus numbers on the numerical pad don’t always work on my computer (some do and some don’t …the codes you both gave today do NOT work on my computer and they both put me on the Yahoo home page…except for ALT 164, which yielded this: ☼, yet the code for ¢ (ALT 155) does work.)

    Therefore, I always use the CHARACTER MAP feature that most computers already have. The CHARACTER MAP has most, if not all of the letters and symbols that most people would need, and it’s a simple “copy&paste” procedure.

    (BTW, I have a very new HP ENVY 23 Touch Smart PC running Windows 8.1 with all latest updates, so it’s not like I’m on an “antique”! LOL)

    I’m glad I have a Mac. All I need to do is Option + n, n (or Option + n, Shift + n) to get ñ (or Ñ)..If I didn’t, I’d certainly want to have some character program rather than try to learn the alt or function codes.

    Any one under the age of twelve Bucky. Then again, would think that would include those of twelve and older.

    No problem for me to type a tilde – ñ. I live in Mexico and my computer has a Spanish keyboard. It’s also easy for me to type accents and other punctuation peculiar to Spanish: ¿Cómo estás? ¡Ay, dios mío!

    On a Laptop, try ‘Fn’ and the blue keys on the keyboard for keypad. I tried it on a DELL ¢ ñ Ñ just holding ‘Fn’ ALT 1 6 4 for example gives ñ
