Windows 10: Alt key codes changed

I used to be able to write the letter ñ with the code ALT+ 164 but now if I use that code a russian letter is typed. Have the codes changed recently or did I change this by mistake?

:)

 

Little Alt Code Utility

It does do that, mlee. All buttons have tooltips with the alt code and a description listed in it.

The masculine ordinal number in Spanish, Italian and Portugese? I'm not even sure what it is for ... lol
