HTML and Key codes for Spanish Letters and Punctuation

The following table lists the additional Spanish alphabetic characters and punctuation you will commonly require. The Alt + Num is the key code combination to create the character and is the Alt key, plus the numeric keypad numbers (not the numbers on the main keypad – hence this can be difficult on a laptop). For example to generate the ñ you hold down the Alt key and type 0241 on the keypad.

The HTML Code given can be used on web pages to correctly display these characters without needing to worry about the viewer’s character set.
