Enye (ñ) — which is the only letter in the 27-letter Spanish alphabet that originated in the 18th century — has been included in the Filipino alphabet as a separate letter.
Despite being included in the Filipino alphabet, Enye does not have a separate button on either the Mobile or Computer keyboards.
According to Wikipedia, ñ which is pronounced as Enye is formed by placing tilde (~) on the English letter n or N.
Unlike English letters, you can’t simply type Enye on your Mobile, Windows, Mac, Google Docs, Chromebook, Canva or other places.
To type Enye on your Mobile or PC keyboards, you are required to use some combinations. Those who don’t know how to type Enye on Mobile or PC end up typing it N or n because it sounds a bit similar.
Unfortunately, people living in the Phillippines can’t ignore it because they have many places in their country that contain Enye.
Some of them are Las Piñas, Niño, Iñigo and Dasmariñas. The universal keyboards don’t have Enye does not mean that we can’t type it on our cell phones or computers.
