About the letter ñ

ñ is Unicode U+00F1, named LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH TILDE. It is used in Spanish. A wavy line above a letter. Spanish uses it for ñ, Portuguese for nasal vowels (ã, õ), Estonian for õ, and Vietnamese for the broken rising tone. See the ñ 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.
