How to type it

Per WP:NOTHOWTO, I deleted this material

On Windows, º can be obtained by Alt+167 or Alt+0186 and ª by Alt+166 or Alt+0170.

In MacOS keyboards, º can be obtained by pressing ⌥ Option+0 and ª can be obtained by pressing ⌥ Option+9.

In Linux, depending on the specific layers of software in use, º may be able to be obtained by Compose^_o^[1], Compose_o^[2], or Ctrl+⇧ Shift+UBAspace, and ª by Compose^_a^[1], Compose_a^[2], or Ctrl+⇧ Shift+UAAspace; the ordering, capitalization, etc. may be flexible.

In the UK-Extended keyboard mapping (available with Microsoft Windows, Linux and ChromeOS), º can be obtained by AltGr+⇧ Shift+M and ª by AltGr+⇧ Shift+F.

On many mobile-device keyboards (tablets, smartphones, etc.), ª and º can be obtained by holding the keys A and O,^[3] respectively, and then selecting the desired character. For this option to appear, the selected input language may need to be changed to one where these symbols are used natively. For example, on Microsoft SwiftKey, both are available when "Italian" is enabled, but not when only "English" is.

Maybe there is a home for it at Wikibooks, if someone is so inclined. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:53, 4 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
