My Char... How to type

How it works: The virtual keyboards allow you compose multilingual text using your standard keyboard. Upon selecting your keyboard from the My Keyboard list, your characters will be loaded onto the keyboard layout. Once your characters are loaded, stroke the keys on your keyboard to insert the corresponding characters to the text box.

Boxes or question marks: Boxes or question marks may appear on your screen instead of your characters for a number of reasons. Make sure at lease one font is installed in your system for your characters. You can download Unicode fonts from Alan Wood's site. If you are running IE 7 on Windows XP, you may find this Instruction helpful. If the problem persists, post your system information in the Issues section of the forum.

Virtual keyboards: The virtual keyboards listed above are available for everyone to use and they are fully integrated in the forum. If your keyboard is not supported, check back soon since the virtual keyboards are being updated on a regular basis.

Unicode character picker: Unlike other Unicode character pickers available online, this Unicode character picker has easy navigation, visually appealing interface, and supports surrogates like Deseret characters. To use the Unicode character picker click on My Char... link and use the navigation in the pop up screen to locate your characters.

Support: This online tool has been tested on the latest versions of IE, Firefox, and Safari browsers. If you are having difficulty using the virtual keyboard, or have general questions, comments, or suggestions, check the Virtual Keyboards section in the forum.

Thanks, The Admin.
