Learn the keys, try a short example, and take your text wherever you need it.
The English keyboard is a simple place to learn how the editor handles on-screen modifiers, text changes, and downloads. This exercise uses one lowercase letter, its capital, and a symbol before applying an explicit export style.
Read the guideArabic typing needs both the correct characters and a suitable text direction. This practice uses a single letter, the mapped two-letter string لا, and an Arabic question mark to check the board before a longer message.
Read the guideFrench AZERTY changes both letter placement and the normal top-row outputs. This exercise combines two direct accented letters with a letter from a different physical position, making those changes easy to see.
Read the guideThe German board provides direct umlaut letters and ß, but not every Shift output is a capital of its normal letter. This exercise checks ä, ß, and Ü while introducing the QWERTZ arrangement.
Read the guideThe Spanish keyboard directly provides ñ, ¡ and ¿. This exercise checks their positions while distinguishing those complete characters from standalone accent marks that do not automatically compose vowels.
Read the guideThe Russian page inserts Cyrillic characters according to the visible layout. Its base upper row contains punctuation, so this exercise combines two letters with a digit to reveal an important modifier change.
Read the guideThe Hindi board can insert many displayed Devanagari characters, but its preserved mapping has gaps. This limited exercise checks three available outputs and explains when a native Hindi input method is the better choice for a complete passage.
Read the guideThe current Korean layout inserts individual halfwidth Hangul symbols. It does not compose ordinary syllable blocks, so this tutorial uses a symbol test and explains when a device Korean input method is the better starting point.
Read the guideBuild a complete tone-marked Zhuyin syllable, choose its Chinese candidate, and export the result. This example keeps the symbol code separate from the Chinese character you save.
Read the guideA plain QWERTY letter is not always the character you need in an Afrikaans note. This exercise compares two Alt Gr letters with a capital from Shift + Alt Gr, then saves the exact result.
Read the guideThe Albanian board gives ë and ç their own keys, so you can enter either letter in one action. This short exercise also checks Ç and explains why familiar English key positions can produce different letters.
Read the guideThe Armenian keyboard is a direct character layout, with some letters occupying positions that otherwise look like number keys. Begin with a small lowercase-and-capital exercise before entering a full name or passage.
Read the guideThe Assamese board mixes letters, signs, digits, and alternate characters across its layers. A spaced exercise keeps three particular letters separate while you learn which layer supplies each one.
Read the guideThe Basque layout combines direct Latin letters with symbols on alternate layers. This exercise uses the same ñ position twice, then changes to Alt Gr for a currency symbol so you can see how the layers work.
Read the guideSmall Latin hints can be misleading when you first use a Cyrillic layout. This example focuses on ў and і, then adds Ў, so you can check the actual Belarusian output rather than the letter printed on a physical key.
Read the guideA key can supply a sign on one layer and a complete vowel letter on another. This Bengali exercise uses three layers to produce separate examples, helping you inspect the exact outputs before assembling longer text.
Read the guideThe Bosnian board makes several accented consonants available as complete characters. This exercise introduces their positions and a capital form, while highlighting one preserved uppercase mapping that needs attention.
Read the guideThis Bulgarian board uses positional Cyrillic entry rather than a separate phonetic arrangement. A three-item practice row helps you identify the letter layer and a capital without assuming that Latin keycaps describe the output.
Read the guideUse a one-letter Cangjie code to follow the complete input process: enter a code, inspect the candidates, insert the desired character, and save it.
Read the guideFollow nei5 from the input-code field to the character 你. Learn when tone digits are part of the code and when to select a matching candidate.
Read the guideThe Catalan board provides a middle dot through Shift and several symbols through Alt Gr. This exercise isolates those outputs before showing how the dot can sit between two editable l characters.
Read the guideThe Cornish page provides direct QWERTY entry with a few useful alternate symbols. This short exercise moves from a normal letter to two currency signs, showing how to keep modifiers under control while writing.
Read the guideCroatian consonants on this board have direct keys, so no accent-building sequence is needed. A small row containing đ, č, and ć lets you compare their shapes before typing a longer passage.
Read the guideSeveral Czech letters occupy the top-row positions normally associated with digits. This exercise finds two of those letters and one on the middle row, then checks the result before exporting it.
Read the guideThe Danish board provides æ, ø, and å directly on its main layer. Entering them together makes a useful first check of letter placement before you write a name, note, or longer passage.
Read the guideDutch letter rows use QWERTY, but their punctuation and alternate symbols deserve a closer look. This exercise begins with a direct @ and then finds a fraction and a currency symbol through Alt Gr.
Read the guideThe Estonian layout puts several accented vowels on direct keys near the right edge of the letter rows. This exercise checks two lowercase forms and a capital, helping you learn the positions without composing separate accent marks.
Read the guideThe preserved Farsi board inserts the forms printed on its keys, including Unicode presentation forms. This example is useful for checking what the layout actually produces before deciding whether it suits text that will be searched or reused elsewhere.
Read the guideThe Finnish keyboard gives ä and ö their own positions alongside QWERTY letters. A short row containing ä, ö, and Ä helps distinguish direct letter entry from the separate accent-symbol keys nearby.
Read the guideThe Galician board supplies a direct ñ key and familiar QWERTY letter rows, with symbols available on other layers. This exercise compares a lowercase and capital form before inserting @ for a practical modifier check.
Read the guideGeorgian letters in this fixed layout do not follow Latin phonetic spelling, and the normal top row is not a standard digit row. This exercise checks two letter positions and a shifted numeral before export.
Read the guideThe Greek board provides separate keys for σ and ς instead of changing a sigma automatically at a word boundary. This short exercise makes that choice visible alongside α before you save the result.
Read the guideThe Gujarati board places letters, signs, and digits on different layers. This exercise selects a consonant, an independent vowel letter, and a digit, keeping them spaced apart to make each mapping easy to inspect.
Read the guideThe Hebrew board offers separate letter forms and an alternate symbol layer. This exercise checks כ and ך explicitly, then inserts ₪, so you can inspect both character choice and right-to-left text flow.
Read the guideThe Hungarian layout provides direct accented vowels but also preserves a bottom-row arrangement that may be unfamiliar. This exercise concentrates on ő and ű, then checks a capital before you expand to longer text.
Read the guideThis Hiragana keyboard inserts kana from visible keys instead of converting romaji. A three-item practice row compares ordinary kana with small っ, making the normal and Shift layers easier to understand.
Read the guideThe Icelandic keyboard puts ð, þ, and æ on dedicated positions rather than requiring a sequence of Latin substitutes. This exercise checks those three letters before you enter a name or passage with the same board.
Read the guideThe Italian board includes accented vowels whose Shift behavior is not simply lowercase to uppercase. This exercise compares è and é at the same position, then adds à before saving the result.
Read the guideKannada entry on this page uses a fixed collection of visible characters and signs. The exercise selects a consonant, an independent vowel letter, and a digit from three layers, without relying on Latin transliteration.
Read the guideA kana key and a Roman-letter spelling are different ways of entering Japanese text. This exercise uses the visible kana keys to compare a normal character, a small character and a separate sound mark.
Read the guideA number printed on your physical keyboard does not guarantee that the same position inserts a number here. The Kazakh layout uses several upper-row positions for letters, which makes a short mapping check useful before writing names or notes.
Read the guideThis Konkani page offers direct Devanagari character entry. A short comparison is more useful than guessing from Roman spelling because the base and Shift layers can contain different kinds of characters.
Read the guideThe Latvian page places several marked letters directly on the base layer. This exercise compares two lowercase outputs with a capital so that you can learn the arrangement before typing a longer name or note.
Read the guideThis layout gives letters, digits and extra symbols their own mapped positions. A short exercise with ą, 1 and € makes those layer changes clear before you prepare a name, price or other mixed text.
Read the guideThe Macedonian keyboard inserts the Cyrillic letters displayed on its keys. This exercise focuses on three distinctive positions rather than asking you to memorize an entire keyboard at once.
Read the guideThe Malayalam page inserts characters directly and leaves their rendering to the browser and font. This tutorial begins with isolated outputs so you can identify the available signs before using them in a meaningful sequence.
Read the guideThe retained Maltese layout includes ċ, ġ and ħ at punctuation positions. It currently lacks ż and Ż, so a short test should be followed by a coverage check for the text you actually want to write.
Read the guideThe Marathi page uses direct Devanagari mappings rather than Roman-letter transliteration. This exercise pairs a base consonant with two shifted forms so you can check the layer before composing a longer passage.
Read the guideThe Mongolian page provides a Cyrillic layout with ө and ү on direct keys. It does not produce vertical Mongolian writing, so first confirm that Cyrillic is the script your document needs.
Read the guideThe Nepali keyboard enters the Devanagari characters shown on screen. This small exercise checks consonants and punctuation without treating Roman key labels as a transliteration system.
Read the guideThe Norwegian layout provides å, ø and æ as complete characters. This exercise checks their positions and a Shift capital before you use them in a name, heading or message.
Read the guideTurn a short Pinyin code into a chosen Chinese result, then save the committed text. The exercise shows why entering a spelling and selecting a candidate are separate steps.
Read the guideThe retained Polish arrangement has dedicated letters and several modifier layers. It also exchanges the physical Y and Z positions, so the visible labels matter even if you already use a different Polish keyboard.
Read the guideThe Portuguese layout provides ç directly, with Ç on Shift. Standalone accent keys do not automatically compose vowels, so a short exercise helps separate direct letters from marks that need more care.
Read the guideThe Punjabi page directly inserts the Gurmukhi forms shown on its keys. Its base number positions are empty, making Alt Gr an important part of a short letter-and-number exercise.
Read the guideThe Quechua page provides a particular Latin layout with exchanged Y and Z positions. This exercise tests that arrangement and its punctuation; it does not present the sample as a Quechua word or validate a writing convention.
Read the guideThe retained Romanian layout provides â, ă and î directly. Its ş and ţ mappings use cedillas rather than the comma-below forms ș and ț, so reviewing the actual character is important when preparing a document.
Read the guideThe Sanskrit page offers a retained direct-entry Devanagari mapping. This exercise checks three explicit outputs while making clear that the page is not a complete scholarly input system or a Roman transliterator.
Read the guideThe Serbian page inserts the displayed Cyrillic letters directly. This exercise compares two lowercase outputs with a capital and keeps the script choice explicit throughout copying and export.

Read the guideThe Tatar layout includes dedicated positions for ө, ә, ү, ң, җ and һ. This exercise checks two lowercase outputs and a capital without asking you to memorize all of those positions at once.
Read the guideThe Telugu page has different outputs on the base, Shift and Alt Gr number layers. This exercise combines a consonant, a vowel sign and a Telugu digit to show why the chosen modifier matters.
Read the guideThe Thai keyboard inserts its displayed letters and signs directly. A separated exercise makes the key mappings visible without implying that the keyboard checks spelling or puts a tone mark in the right place for you.
Read the guideThe Turkish layout places dotless ı and dotted i on different physical positions. This exercise compares those two lowercase outputs with uppercase İ so you can check character choice before styling the text.
Read the guideThe retained Ukrainian page currently lacks і, ї, є and ґ. This tutorial makes that limitation explicit, tests available outputs, and shows how to use reviewed text from a device Ukrainian input method with the editor.
Read the guideThe Urdu page begins with right-to-left text direction and a fixed physical key arrangement. This exercise distinguishes character choice from visual direction so you can check both before preparing a document.
Read the guideThe Uzbek page supplies Cyrillic characters directly, including ў, қ, ғ and ҳ. This exercise checks two lowercase letters and a capital while keeping the choice of Cyrillic explicit from typing through export.
Read the guideThe Vietnamese page inserts its displayed letters and combining marks directly. This exercise uses complete letter forms, while explaining why repeated Roman letters or number shortcuts do not automatically build a Vietnamese word.
