Line 54:

[[File:Left side of modern US-International keyboard.JPG|thumb|350px|The {{char|¡}} character is accessible using [[AltGr]]+1 on a modern [[US-International]] keyboard. It is also available using a standard US keyboard by switching to the US-International keyboard layout.]]

{{char|¿}} and {{char|¡}} are available in all [[keyboard layout]]s designed for [[Spanish-speaking countries]]. Smart phones typically offer these if you hold down {{keypress|?}} or {{keypress|!}} in the on-screen keyboard. Auto-correct will often turn a normal mark typed at the start of a sentence to the upside-down one.

On systems with an [[AltGr]] key (actual or emulated via [[right Alt key]]) and Extended ( or 'International') [[keyboard mapping]] set, the symbols can be accessed directly, though the sequence varies by OS and locality: for example on Windows and [[QWERTY#US-International|US-International]], use {{keypress|AltGr|1}} and {{keypress|AltGr|/}}; on [[QWERTY#ChromeOS|ChromeOS with UK-Extended]], use {{keypress|AltGr|Shift|1}} and {{keypress|AltGr|Shift|-}}.
