About the letter ń
ń is Unicode U+0144, named LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH ACUTE. It is used in Polish and Yoruba. A short line slanting up to the right. It marks stress in Spanish (canción), a closed vowel in French (été), vowel length in Czech, Hungarian and Irish, and a rising tone in Vietnamese and Pinyin. See the ń character page for every code and shortcut.
Troubleshooting
- Ctrl+Shift+U does not work in some Android apps on ChromeOS. Use it in Chrome and web apps.
- Make sure you type the code in lowercase or uppercase; both work, but do not include "U+".
- If nothing happens, check that an input method other than the default English one is not active.
