You use the "compose key", but you'll need to check the window manager
to see what key is mapped to "compose". SUN keyboards use to have one
with "compose" written on, typically  Window managers you "Alt GR" or
"Windows Key" or "Menu key".

So pressing "Compose" then "?" then "?" gives "Â"
"Compose" then "!" then "!" gives "Â" (upside down exclamation).

Most of the one's you need for Spanish are guessable once you know a few
other sequences.
