If you have set up your keyboard to spanish, the inverted question mark can be found on the top row, in the += key next to the backspace.

If your keyboard is set to english hold down the shift + option keys and type the regular question mark.

Yes, it should. Though what is shown depends on the input sources.

For instance if you have the default "ABC extended" keyboard, it will show as white "A" in a black box.

You can click on it, and select another input source if required.

Other keyboards should show a flag on the menu bar.

Thank you very much; it worked! I'm new to an iMac and just learning how to use it. If you have time to answer another Spanish typing question: I have Spanish listed under Keyboard Input Sources, but despite that and the fact I checked the "Show Input menu in menu bar" and "Automatically switch to a document's input source" boxes checked, the icon/flag for the keyboard I'm using isn't visible anywhere, so I'm never sure what keyboard is being used when I type. Shouldn't a flag show in my menu bar (like it does on a PC)?
