Type Hausa characters with buttons or shortcuts, then copy them into your document or e-mail.
Type faster with Ctrl shortcuts. For example: each press of Ctrl+' steps through ʼ → ’. Point at a button to see its shortcut.
Using these characters
ɓ ɗ ƙ ƴ
Distinguish ɓ, ɗ, ƙ and ƴ from plain b, d, k and y. Enlarge the text if a font makes their hooks difficult to see, and check that the distinction survives case conversion.
Typing with this keyboard
- Type ordinary text in the editor and place the cursor where the symbol belongs. Examples available on this keyboard: ɓ · ɗ · ƙ · ƴ · ʼ · ’.
- Click the required character. For characters with an uppercase partner, use Shift or the uppercase setting. Check each button's hint and your settings for shortcuts.
