===Spanish=== The numero sign is not typically used in Iberian Spanish, and it is not present on standard keyboard layouts. According to the [[Real Academia Española]]<ref>{{cite web | title=¿Cuál es la abreviatura de "número"? | publisher=Real Academia Española| url=https://www.rae.es/duda-linguistica/cual-es-la-abreviatura-de-numero | language=es | access-date=21 January 2024}}</ref> and the [[Fundéu BBVA]],<ref>{{cite web|title=número, abreviatura|url=http://www.fundeu.es/consulta/numero-abreviatura-145/|website=Fundéu BBVA|date=23 February 2006|access-date=21 March 2016}}</ref> the word ''número'' (number) is abbreviated per the Spanish typographic convention of [[Superior letter#Use in Spanish|''letras voladas'']] ("flying letters"). The first letter(s) of the word to be abbreviated are followed by a period; then, the final letter(s) of the word are written as lowercase superscripts. This gives the abbreviations n.<sup>o</sup> (singular) and n.<sup>os</sup> (plural). The abbreviation "no." is not used (it might be mistaken for the Spanish negative word ''no''). The abbreviations nro. and núm. are also acceptable. The numero sign, either as a one-character symbol {{char|№}} or composed of the letter N plus superscript "o" (sometimes underlined or substituted by the [[ordinal indicator]], {{char|º}}), is common in Latin America, where the interpolated period is sometimes not used in abbreviations.
