Try this keyboard: Italian Keyboard
Start with the displayed Italian layout
Find è at left bracket, switch Shift on to see é at that same position, then locate à at quote on the normal layer. These are complete characters. Watch the accent direction on the label, because the font style does not determine which accent is inserted.
Open the Italian keyboard and save any existing draft you want to keep. Clear the editor for this exercise, then turn off Caps, Shift, and Alt Gr. Clicking the on-screen characters avoids relying on the printed labels of your physical keyboard.
Enter è é à one example at a time
First, use the normal layer and click è at the [ position. Next, use the Shift layer and click é at the [ position. Finally, use the normal layer and click à at the ' position. Insert one Space between the examples. The finished practice row is è é à. These separated characters are an exercise, not a word or a translation.
For each example, enable only its stated modifier combination and check that the large key label matches the intended character. On-screen Shift and Alt Gr stay active until you toggle them off. Return to the normal layer after the final example; do not leave an extra modifier selected.
Review the characters before formatting
Compare the editor with è é à. If one item differs, select that item and click its correct key again. Undo and Redo can recover text edits during this page session. Keep one space between the examples so each character remains easy to inspect.
The first two items should be è and é, both lowercase, followed by à. If you need capital È later, the Shift key used here will not provide it. The preserved board does not contain every Italian accented vowel or capital; use paste or native input for an absent one.
Set a clear style and download the practice row
Open Text style using the font button above the editor. Explicitly choose Arial, set the size to 28 px, choose Automatic color, and turn bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough off. Set direction to Left to right. These settings apply to the complete editor, even when a smaller passage is selected.
Choose Save image to download a PNG, then open it and compare its text with the editor. The image centers the text on a white background. Font appearance depends on fonts available on your device; a missing glyph can use a fallback. For text you can revise later, Save Word (.docx) creates an editable document instead. Both downloads include the whole editor.

Tips for this layout
Some accented characters are absent
This preserved board does not contain every Italian accented vowel or capital. Paste absent characters or use native input.
Use Shift for é
The è key changes to é rather than uppercase È. Other Shift positions can also change to symbols instead of capitals. Alt Gr with Q gives @ and E gives €. Braces and brackets occupy digit positions; unassigned alternate keys remain empty.
Common questions
Why does Shift change è to é instead of È?
The layout explicitly maps left bracket to è normally and é under Shift. Shift selects another mapping layer rather than universally applying uppercase. Always inspect the large character label before insertion.
Which other accented vowel keys are directly available?
The normal layer provides ì at equals, ò at semicolon, and à at quote. Some required vowels or capitals are absent, so review the layers and use native input or paste for characters the board does not supply.
Will Copy keep the style shown in my image?
Copy sends the entire editor as plain text, so the receiving app supplies its appearance. Use PNG for a fixed visual result or Word for editable text with the selected font, size, color, and direction.
Try your own Italian text
Repeat the example, then replace it with the text you need. Review any unfamiliar characters before copying or downloading the finished version.
