upside down question mark not shown on keyboard

Question

How do you use an upside down question mark on the exercises so that the time doesn't run out? If you don't put one, it counts the answer wrong!!

Example: I have to translate What's up?

I respond: Qué tal?

It's counted wrong because I haven't put "¿" which is not on my keyboard. It also is not one of the choices (like the accents are) at the bottom of the box.

Please advise.

Thanks, L. Schwarz

You have 4 excellent answers. I hope one of them helped. Looking for these extra (but necessary) characters can be frustrating. - Jubilado, Aug 4, 2013

Answer 1

It is in the box, the first one on the left! ¿Can you see it?

Answer 2

This box, that I am writing in has the accents and some symbols in the bottom left.

¿¡áéíííúüñ

You can also copy and paste it, if you don't have the box. There are other options, like changing your keyboard. You can search this site with the search box to find the many ways people have used to get accents and symbols on their keyboard.

Here is an answer that might help.

Answer 3

You can also hold down the Alt key and type "168" on the numeric keypad (Num Lock must be on). I have just done that to put this "¿" here. Alt-173 is used for the ¡.
