How to type ñ on any device

Which accent is which

One character or two?

ñ is a single character, U+00F1 LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH TILDE. Unicode can also build it from two: the plain letter n followed by U+0303 COMBINING TILDE. Both forms are canonically equivalent, so they're meant to look and behave the same, but in code the first is one code point and the second is 2. That's why a character count can say 2 for something that looks like one letter.
