Watching the Olympic games I came across this symbol over an 'a' I have seen it as ñ

How is this pronounced and any words would help. Also I can't find any windows keycode (UK) for it.

Thanks.

Ã/ã and Õ/õ are special characters in Portuguese. They spell nasal vowels, as in the words são = Spanish san and não = Spanish no.

The standard English (US) and English (UK) keyboard layouts do not provide a way to type these letters, just as they do not allow a way to type the special characters for Spanish. I have configured my computer so that I can easily switch between English (US) and Spanish (US) as the input language, and the keyboard layout for Spanish (US) provides a way to type the Portuguese letters.

If you haven't seen it already, you can find some information about entering special characters here.

Ok thanks. There are keyboard codes for these but this is Portuguese not Spanish. I should have guessed.

Thanks again.
