Upside-down question marks are placed at the beginning of a questioning sentence in Spanish. Many people are uncomfortable typing because the Mac keyboard doesn’t have such a symbol. In addition, there are many symbols, such as the inverted exclamation mark and accented sounds.

Even so, you can type and use all of these characters. You can use the key combinations described below. You can also add a Spanish keyboard.

What combination of keys do you need to press?

If you don’t want to add another keyboard, you can use the key combination to display an upside-down question mark in the text box. This method can also give you the ability to type in Spanish fully. Since with some key combinations, you can type characters such as ‘ é, á, ú, ó, í, ñ and ü ‘.

The key combination for the upside-down question mark:

  • The first step is to ensure that your keyboard is switched to English.
  • After that, press Shift+Option+?.

After these steps, you will see the ‘¿’ symbol.

The key combination for the inverted exclamation mark:

  • The first step is to ensure that your keyboard is switched to English.
  • After that, press Option+1.

After these steps, you will see the ‘¡’ symbol.

The key combination for adding acepto to symbol:

  • The first step is to ensure that your keyboard is switched to English.
  • Then type the desired character, e.g. U.
  • Right after that, press the Shift+Option+U key.
