U+00F1 "ñ" Latin Small Letter N with Tilde is a distinct letter used primarily in the Spanish alphabet, where it represents a palatal nasal sound similar to the "ny" in "canyon" and is considered a separate character for sorting and indexing purposes. It also appears in other languages such as Galician, Basque, and various indigenous languages of the Americas, and it can be encoded using the standard method of adding a combining tilde (U+0303) to a base letter n, though the precomposed form U+00F1 is more commonly used for compatibility with legacy systems and text.
