How to Type an ENYE (or the N with a Tilde)

Niña Bonita was in a pickle a few minutes ago. She could not type in her name because she did not know how to type the enye or what is otherwise known as the N with a tilde or what I lovingly refer to as the N with that sguiggly thingy on top of it. But thanks to google, her problem was quickly solved in 4.2 seconds.

How to type an enye (or the N with a Tilde):

Windows:
ALT + 0241 = ñ
ALT + 0209 = Ñ

Mac:
Option + n, followed by the letter n = ñ
(you hit Option + n first and then that sguiggly thingy comes out, then you release the keys and press n)

Option + n, followed by the letter N = Ñ
(you hit Option + n first and then that sguiggly thingy comes out, then you release the keys and press shift + n which gives you the uppercase N)
