    On a laptop ALT + 0191 is not particularly convenient. For occasional usage the Character-map tool works. You find it the Accessories folder, more precisely in the folder System Tools.

    If you use it often because you work a lot in Spanish, you could create a custom keyboard layout, using this tool: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102134. I have created a custom keyboard layout myself, mainly because I got fed up with the underscore requiring the Shift key on a Swedish keyboard, but while I was at it, I added a few more characters. (Not ¿, though.)

    To type an inverted question mark (¿) on a Windows laptop, you can use the following methods:

    1. Using Alt Code: Hold down the Alt key and type 0191 on the numeric keypad. Make sure Num Lock is enabled.
    2. Using Character Map: Open the Character Map application by searching for it in the Start menu. Find the inverted question mark, select it, and click on "Copy" to paste it where you need it.
    3. Using Keyboard Shortcuts: If you have a keyboard layout that supports it, you can use the specific key combination for the inverted question mark, which may vary depending on your keyboard settings.
    4. Using Unicode: You can also type the Unicode for the inverted question mark. Type 00BF, then press Alt + X to convert it to the character.

    These methods should allow you to easily insert an inverted question mark in your text.
