Try it

Pick a layout and type — ⇧ reveals the shift layer (وو on و, plain-Arabic letters), Latin layouts add ⇪ Caps Lock. Arrow keys navigate the panel; it works with screen readers.

Assistive-tech labels: — the ⇧ key currently announces as “”.

Mobile: be the keyboard

Decades of fragmented encodings left Kurdish text with Arabic ك/ي and heh-for-ە. normalizeLegacy() converts to the unified codepoints — changed characters are highlighted.

“Compact” — smaller, warm accents

“Night” — dark, roomy
