Use the Correct Ñ or ñ in Names and Text
The enye letter is not interchangeable with the ordinary letter N. In Spanish, changing ñ to n can change a word's meaning. In personal names and place names, leaving out the tilde can also make the spelling incorrect.
Choose the right form
Ñ — uppercaseU+00D1
ñ — lowercaseU+00F1
Use Ñ at the start of a name or in all-capital text when the original spelling calls for it. Use ñ in ordinary lowercase words and names.
Where it matters
Keep the original spelling when entering a person's name, a town or address, a school or company name, a username, or information on an online form.
If a form rejects Ñ or ñ, check whether it accepts accented characters before replacing the letter. Do not silently change someone's official name.
