Czech in Unicode

Unicode was created to be able to represent any character of any language imaginable. In this way, using Unicode, any Czech character can be created on any keyboard.

The Czech letter Ř e.g. corresponds to the value 0158 in Unicode. In the left table you will find the Unicode values for all characters of the Czech alphabet.

How to create a Czech letter with Unicode

For example to create Ř follow these steps:

• Press at the same time Ctrl + Shift + u (=> an underlined u appears), then
• enter the Unicode value from the table (e.g. 0158), then
• press the enter key (=> Ř appears)

It's not necessary to enter the leading zeros. The letters in Unicode can be entered in upper cased or lower cased letters. I.e. with the Unicode 0158, it is enough to enter only 158 after the u.
