Albanian (Arbëreshë, Arvanitika, Gheg, Tosk) | German | Serbian (Latin script) |
Balearic | Hungarian | Slovak |
Basque | Icelandic | Slovenian |

Catalan | Italian | Spanish |
Croatian | Kashubian | Swedish |
Czech | Ladin | Tagalog |
Danish | Latvian | Turkish |
Dutch | Lithuanian | Valencian |
Esperanto | Maltese | Vlaams |
Estonian | Norwegian | Walloon |
Faroese | Nynorsk | Welsh |
Finnish | Polish | Zulu |
French | Portuguese | |
Gaelic (Irish and Scottish) | Romansch |
All of the characters accessible in this keyboard are included in the font Tahoma. Most of the letters are also available in Times New Roman and Arial and other fonts included with Windows, as well as many other fonts. Some of the rarer letters (such as ḃ) will typically only be available in specialty fonts.
Type prefix key on the left, followed by key on top row to get character.
