"é" is obtained similarly. You can also get tildes over some vowels, circumflexes, grave accents and umlauts.
These shortcuts don't work in the Post a reply text box though, you have to type them in Word or a messenger window and copy-paste them. ;)
Ctrl + ' + o doesn't work for me. But I have a table of ASCII characters which was in my Computer Science textbook. I just read across and down for the correct code. Each code must have four numbers, so if there isn't four numbers add zeros before the code. Be sure to hold down the Alt Key and use the Number Keypad. For example, for the é character, hold the Alt Key while typing in 0233 on the Number Keypad.

ó = Alt + 0243
ñ = Alt + 0241
ä = Alt + 0228
ç = Alt + 0231
æ = Alt + 0230
¼ = Alt + 0188
½ = Alt + 0189
¾ = Alt + 0190

I scanned my table and present it to you here:

There is also an ASCII Cheat Sheet here … although it doesn't give specific instructions about holding the Alt Key, or having four digits in the code, or using the Number Keypad.

@HP
Try the Ctrl+'+o thingy in Word, it works for me there.

@Ethric
It doesn't work for me in the reply window. I wonder why :|

If you're running a Windows OS, you can also find some keystrokes via the Character Map. For example, I'm running Win 2000 and it's found in the Start Menu under Programs>Accessories>System Tools.

Cash in your pocket right now? Hmm... sixteen aussie dollars :)

I had 3745 crowns, btw, just over $650. I've started using some of it now, just to get rid of some and also give my card a break ;)

Well, at least he's having fun...for now. He'd better enjoy it while it lasts...:devious:
And you, miss Milla? You're ermm... internet crush?
Fixed. ;)

Internet crushes FTW! :D

I have a love interest at the moment, but well, I'm not ready to take the next step at the moment (actually telling her what I feel).

Ah, that probably explains what happened to TheMadDragon: he got conscripted for the Burning Crusade.
