Can not confirm.

The Unicode points for Ñ and ñ are respectively

U+00D1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH TILDE

U+00F1 LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH TILDE

Both are available in Liberation Serif, and exposed on the Special Character dialog's charmap. They can be selected and addedd to the Favorites bar, retained in user profile between sessions.

Comment 3 Ming Hua 2020-11-13 13:58:46 UTC
The availability of a certain character in that dialog depends on the specified font in the "Font:" dropdown list.  It only shows characters available in that font.  Everything else is hidden.

So both Roy and Dieter should make sure the font is set to Liberation Serif and re-test.

Or if either of you have a correct font selected, then typed or copy-n-pasted that character in the "Search:" text box and found nothing -- that's not the right way to search for a character.  One needs to use the Unicode codepoint (in "Hexadecimal: U+" text box, enter D1) or the canonical Unicode name (in the "Search:" box, enter "letter n with tilde") instead.

You're right. I wasn't aware how to use the search field (LO Help gives no informations)but te character is present in all the fonts I've tried (Liberation Sans, Liberation Serif, Arial, Calibri, ...)

Roy, can you please retest?

Please read comment 2 and 3 and if you still reproduce this with Liberation Serif and last stable LO version 7.0.6 or even new 7.1.4, don't hesitate to reopen this tracker.
