If in Windows, [B]charmap.exe[/B] aka Character Map.:smile: I find it very useful for non-US/English characters.

But how does one access that while typing?
Is there a hot key or a keystroke sequence?

Is there a hot key or a keystroke sequence?[/QUOTE]Yes, to the latter. Check out keyboard mapping. Some maps (the Spanish one is an obvious example) provide a single keystroke for ñ

Others, such as the one I use, allow me to type the three keys Right-Win n ~ in that order to get an ñ

In practice, I find it much easier to have a "Character Map" app open because I can then (inshallah) just as easily type إن شاء الله‎, which would be inordinately difficult without serious mucking about.

The question is not how to insert characters but how many ways are there to do that. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that you keep on using "ano."
