About the Czech keyboard
Czech uses three diacritics: the háček (č ď ě ň ř š ť ž), the čárka marking long vowels (á é í ó ú ý) and the kroužek on ů. The letter ř is unique to Czech.
- Czech QWERTZ: The Czech QWERTZ layout: ě š č ř ž ý á í é on the number row, ú ů next to P and L, ´ and ˇ are dead keys (ˇ then d → ď).
- Accent shortcuts: Keep your normal keyboard and add accents with a symbol after the letter: e' → é, n~ → ñ, u" → ü. See the cheat sheet below.

Tips for typing Czech
- ú vs ů: ú is written at the start of words (úterý), ů in the middle or end (dům).
- ě after b, p, v, m, d, t, n changes the sound of the consonant (běh, děti).
- Czech quotes are „like this“.
- Hold Shift for digits on the Czech layout.
Frequently asked questions
How do I type č, ř, š and ž on an English keyboard?
Choose Accent shortcuts and type the letter followed by <: c< → č, r< → ř, s< → š, z< → ž, e< → ě, n< → ň, d< → ď, t< → ť.
How do I type ů?
ů (u with kroužek) is right of L on the Czech layout. With shortcuts type u*.
Where are the numbers on a Czech keyboard?
The top row types accented letters; hold Shift to get the digits 1–0. That is why Czech typists often use the numeric keypad.
What are háček and čárka?
Háček (ˇ) softens consonants and e (č ř š ž ď ť ň ě); čárka (´) marks long vowels (á é í ó ú ý). Kroužek (˚) appears only on ů.
