Why Special Characters Matter
Accented Characters
Accents and diacritics change the meaning and pronunciation of words. In French, "ou" means "or" while "o\u00F9" means "where". In Spanish, "a\u00F1o" 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 (\u00BF) and exclamation marks (\u00A1). French uses guillemets (\u00AB \u00BB). German uses special quotation marks (\u201E \u201C). Having quick access to these saves time.
Click to Type
Simply click any character to insert it into the text area. No keyboard layout changes needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this multilingual keyboard?
Select a language from the tabs at the top, then click any character to insert it into the text area. You can also type normally using your regular keyboard and only use the on-screen characters when you need a special symbol or accent.
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?
We support 20+ languages including French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Turkish, Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic), Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Each language shows its unique characters and common symbols.
Can I use this on my phone or tablet?
Yes. The tool works on any device with a web browser. On mobile, you can tap characters to insert them into the text area, then copy the text to use in other apps.
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 \u00E9, grave \u00E8, circumflex \u00EA), umlauts (\u00FC), tildes (\u00F1), cedillas (\u00E7), carons (\u0161), 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.
