Why Special Characters Matter
Accented Characters
Accents and diacritics change the meaning and pronunciation of words. In French, "ou" means "or" while "où" means "where". In Spanish, "año" means "year" but "ano" has an entirely different meaning. Getting accents right is essential for clear communication.
Non-Latin Scripts
Over half the world writes in scripts other than Latin. Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hindi, and many others have their own character sets. This tool lets you type these characters without installing additional keyboard layouts on your computer.
Currency & Punctuation
Different languages use different punctuation marks and currency symbols. Spanish uses inverted question marks (¿) and exclamation marks (¡). French uses guillemets (« »). German uses special quotation marks („ “). Having quick access to these saves time.
Click or Type
Click any character to insert it, or type Arabic, Persian, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek and Korean with your own keyboard. No layout changes on your computer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this multilingual keyboard?
Pick a language, then click any character to insert it into the text box. For Arabic, Persian, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek and Korean you can switch on "Type with my own keyboard" and your keyboard types that language in its standard layout. For Japanese, type in romaji (arigatou becomes ありがとう), and for Chinese type pinyin and pick a character (type ni, choose 你). Undo, Redo and Copy are above the text box.
Can I type accented characters without this tool?
Yes, most operating systems support keyboard shortcuts for accented characters (e.g., Alt codes on Windows, Option key combinations on Mac). However, these vary by system and can be difficult to remember. This tool provides a visual, click-to-type interface that works on any device.
Which languages are supported?
30 languages: French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Turkish, Hungarian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, Welsh, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Kurdish (Sorani), Pashto, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Each language shows its own letters and common symbols.
Can I use this on my phone or tablet?
Yes. On a phone the languages appear in a dropdown and you tap characters to add them. The on-screen keys keep your phone keyboard out of the way; switch on "Use my phone’s keyboard" if you would rather type with it. Your text is saved in your browser, so you can copy it into any app when you are ready.
What is the difference between an accent and a diacritic?
An accent is a specific type of diacritic, a mark added to a letter. Diacritics include accents (acute é, grave è, circumflex ê), umlauts (ü), tildes (ñ), cedillas (ç), carons (š), and many others. They modify pronunciation, meaning, or both.
Do I need these characters for professional translations?
Absolutely. Professional translations must use the correct characters, accents, and diacritics of the target language. Missing accents can change the meaning of words, appear unprofessional, and in legal or medical contexts, could cause serious misunderstandings.
