How to type them

  1. Tap the text field to open Gboard (or your default keyboard).
  2. Touch and hold a vowel or N to see accented variants; release on the one you need.
  3. For ¿ and ¡, long-press ? or ! on the symbols layer.

Tip: Gboard: tap and hold keys for accents; you can add Spanish (Spain or Latin America) in Gboard settings for a dedicated ñ key and quicker access.
