Definition

What Is Uppercase N Tilde?

Uppercase N tilde (Ñ) is the Unicode character at U+00D1 in Latin-1 Supplement. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH TILDE — a capital N with a tilde (~), essential in Spanish and related orthographies.

Remember

Hex entity    &#xD1;
Decimal       &#209;

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: Ñ (capital N) is the clearest HTML form for U+00D1. Lowercase ñ is a different character (ñ).

2. Hex: U+00D1 → Ñ in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 209 → Ñ. Same glyph as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \00D1 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ñ after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / word: paste Ñ in UTF-8, or build Spanish words like ESPAÑA with lang="es".

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+00D1.

Case

Ñ ≠ ñ

Ñ → Ñ (capital). ñ → ñ (lowercase). Entity names are case-sensitive.

vs Ň

Not a caron

Ň (&Ncaron;) is Czech/Slovak Ň. Tilde Ñ and caron Ň are different letters.

vs Ń

Not an acute

Ń (&Nacute;) is Polish Ń. Do not swap tilde and acute.

Encoding

Keep UTF-8 declared

Latin-1 letters display reliably with <meta charset="UTF-8">. Prefer named entities when the source file encoding is uncertain.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\00D1 belongs in CSS strings. Ñ / Ñ / Ñ belong in HTML.

A11y

Use real language context

When Ñ appears in Spanish words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
