I'm trying to write a few words in Spanish in an instructional animation. Does anyone know how to access for instance the upside down question mark, exclamation point, and the accent? Thanks! Cece

This is a low tech solution but I usually search Google for something like "upside down question mark" then copy, and simply paste it into the text field in Animate.

Thanks Travis--that's about the only thing that will work! Low tech, high tech, whatever completes the picture. Thanks again! Cece

If you're on Windows you can use the charmap app to browse and copy all the special characters. You can also type them directly with Alt + the keycode on the numpad, however, Animate CC broke this functionality. I've reported this issue several times, still waiting on them to fix it. Maybe if more people report it it'll get a priority boost.

Thanks Clay, That's what I was afraid of as I was going through the codes that Colin referred to. Appreciate it. I'll mark this correct, but hopefully, the powers that be will recognize that there is still a problem.

For anyone else with this issue, I am going to create words in MS Word with the proper Spanish punctuation, bring them into AI, save them as objects, then create symbols out of them in Animate. Taking the long way around.
