As part of this material will be described how to write an inverted question mark.Most often this symbol can be found in Spanish at the beginning of interrogative applications.This allows the reader to find the right tone and in accordance with the rules of utter the phrase.
What are the ways?
How to write an inverted question mark?To date, there are the following ways to perform this operation.
- With the installation of the Spanish language and using separate keys, specifically designed for this purpose.
- ASCII-codes.
- Application screen keyboard.
- use of the symbol table.
- Insert the symbol "¿" in the word processor "Word" and transfer it to other applications using the clipboard.
Each of these methods will be described in detail in the framework of the material.From the standpoint of ease of implementation of them will be selected is the one that is best used in practice.
To install the Spanish
One of the main ways to insert "¿" in any application - is installed on a personal computer of the Spanish language.It for this purpose separate button.Before you write an inverted question mark, you need to perform the following manipulations:
- Go to the "Start" menu, then we need to "Control Panel".Then open a label with the word "language".
- In the box, then in the list of "Spanish", select it by a single click of the mouse and then click the button that says "Install."In the following procedure to start installing the language pack.
- closes all previously open windows.Start "Notepad".
- in the lower right corner of the screen, select Spanish (he referred to as a «ESP»).
- Press the key combination «Shift» and "+" in the main part of the keyboard.After that, it should appear "¿".
now in the process is sufficient to switch to this keyboard and press the given key combination.In principle, a fairly simple way of how to print an inverted question mark.But he did it, there are two significant drawbacks.The first of them - is the need to install additional language packs.And the second - every time you enter such a sign will need to switch to it.
ASCII-codes
Another way to solve this problem - it is the use of special ASCII-codes.In this case, follow these steps:
- Open the application to which you want to insert the "¿".
- Turn on the extended numeric keypad key «Num Look» (its indicator light should be on).
- Switch to the English language, using a combination of keys or by using the manipulator.
- Hold down «Alt».
- consistently recruit the code "0-1-9-1" on the extended keypad.After that, it should appear "¿".
Like the previous method, the use of ASCII - code allows to insert the mark in almost any application.How to put an inverted question mark in this case?Here it is much more difficult to perform - you need to remember and enter the code "¿" with the active English.
-screen keyboard
Another method is based on using the onscreen keyboard.It is realized as follows:
- Start the application in which you want to insert the "¿".
- previously given way to install the Spanish language.
- Run the application "On-Screen Keyboard" (located in the "Start" menu, then "All Programs", then "Accessories" and "Features").
- Switch to Spanish, using a combination of keys or by using the manipulator.
- find the on-screen keyboard and click the mark on his left-arm once.After that, in the working area of the application will have to appear "¿".
This method is identical to the normal use of the keyboard, which was given earlier in the text.The only difference is that you need to run a separate utility.This additional burden on the resources of a personal computer.But the advantage of this solution on how to write an inverted question mark is the fact that you can see visually the key to enter this sign.
symbol table
Such a utility such as "Character Map" also allows you to enter an inverted question mark.The symbol "¿" is introduced as follows:
- Run the program in which you want to add an inverted question mark.
- Go to the "Start" menu.In it we find the "Programs", then - "Standard", and then find the "System".Open the utility "Character Map."
- In the list, find the "¿", select it and click "Paste".
Special characters in "the Word" and the clipboard
Another option of how to make an inverted question mark - is the use of the test processor "Word" and the clipboard.The algorithm of its implementation includes the following stages:
- Run "Word."
- Go to the tab titled "Insert".
- In the "Symbols" in the drop down list "Symbol" choose "Other characters".
- In the window that opens, find the "¿" and click "Paste".
- Close the window "Other characters".
- Select "¿" with the mouse.
- Go to the tab "Main" and click "Copy" (It shows two pages with stripes).
- then starts the second application.
- turn in his work area using a single pressing the left mouse button.
- Simultaneously press «Ctrl» and «V».
Which is better?
When you enter a single "¿" best use "symbol table."No additional software to solve the problem of how to write an inverted question mark, no need to install.This problem is solved quickly and easily.But if you need to type text in Spanish and there are many such proposals, it is best to install the language and use a combination of «Shift» and "+" in the main part of the keyboard.
