To do this you will hold down the ALT key on your keyboard while typing a specific four digit number, then release the ALT key. If, for some reason, you don’t want to change your keyboard, you can always type in the troublesome cryptic codes.

On some keyboards, only one of the two Alt keys will work for this. To type the special punctuation characters, you need to hold down on the Alt key while you strike the appropriate punctuation mark. To type the capitalized version of any of these letters, you would do the same but hold down SHIFT when typing the letter. To type the á, you need only strike the apostrophe key and then the letter a. To type the special characters, two keystrokes are required. These two minor inconveniences are more than made up for by the ease with which you can now type the special characters. You must first strike the quotes key and then strike the space bar in order to create the (“) symbol. The next thing to note is that the quotes (“) key behaves the same way as the apostrophe key. When you strike the spacebar, the apostrophe will appear. To type the single apostrophe now, you must strike the single apostrophe key and then strike the space bar.

First of all, notice that if you strike the single apostrophe (‘) key, nothing happens. If you followed the above directions carefully, your keyboard will now react slightly differently than it did before.
