Method 1: Codes for web pages

Format	Code for ñ
Named entity	`ñ`
Decimal entity	`ñ`
Hex entity	`ñ`
CSS content	`content: "\00F1";`
JavaScript	`"\u00F1"`
URL encoded	`%C3%B1`
UTF-8 bytes	`C3 B1`

Method 2: Type it directly with UTF-8

If your page starts with <meta charset="utf-8"> and the file is saved as UTF-8, you can paste ñ straight into the HTML. Entities are only needed when your editor or database cannot store the character.

Method 3: Watch for normalization

ñ can also be written as n plus a combining mark. Both look the same but compare as different strings. In JavaScript, call str.normalize("NFC") before comparing or searching.

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

If you see Ã and other symbols, the file is UTF-8 but the browser reads it as Windows-1252. Add the meta charset tag.
Named entities are case sensitive: É and é are different letters.
In XML and XHTML only five named entities exist, so use numeric codes there.
