Keyboard Layouts for entering Unicode characters and diacritics

Because operating systems often change, it is impossible to generalize to all Unicode formats and not work on OS Ks, Windows or Linux. When this site was first written (2012), most operating systems and programs used Unicode. Now, in a few years, compliance has generally improved. To determine the limits of your own system, you need to experiment and find information online.





The most common problem for Unicode users is figuring out how to type special characters that are not displayed on the keyboard. For Middle Eastern scholars, this is usually associated with Arabic literalism as a Roman symbol.

To ease this, there are various keyboard layouts. A keyboard layout is a small piece of software that tells your computer what to do when you press a specific key or keyboard shortcut. In the basic layout of the US keyboard, hold down the Shift key and type the result in uppercase letters. The problem is that the standard keyboard layout does not have a less commonly used character set.

To solve this problem, there are several specialized keyboard layouts. For example, Kino has created the most beautiful and simple Alt-Latin and LatinTL keyboards, especially for this purpose. The Alt-Latin keyboard is available on Macintosh or Windows, and is one of the simplest, most transparent methods we've found for typing special characters, punctuation, and characters that aren't on standard keyboards. These keyboard layouts can be downloaded here with the permission of the cinema, as their site is no longer available. Installation is easy and easy to use.



Use of replacement keyboard - Latin does not require any replacement of the actual keyboard attached to the computer. Just programs that tell your computer what to do when you press a key or key combination. When you type in Latin (e.g. English or other European languages), you do not need to switch from Latin to other shapes. As shown in the diagram below, the alt-Latin keys are the same as the American standard keyboard KVERTI. If your standard keyboard is different from the standard US layout, it may take some effort to get used to it. Spend some time in the browser and you'll find a keyboard layout that matches your regular layout.
