- anthk 4y agoNot a diacritic, ñ is a different symbol by itself. U and ü would be a different case. Silent under gue, gui, que and qui, and not, as in pingüino.

Is there a different generic term for "typographic mark above the main body of a letter"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%91 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%91
