## Find the right character

### C and S with cedilla

Ç ç Ş ş

These are separate Turkish alphabet letters with established sounds.

### G with breve

Ğ ğ

The breve distinguishes soft G from plain G and affects the surrounding sounds.

### Dotless I pair

I ı

Uppercase I pairs with lowercase dotless ı in Turkish.

### Dotted I pair

İ i

Uppercase dotted İ pairs with lowercase i.

### Two-dot vowels

Ö ö Ü ü

Ö and Ü are separate Turkish alphabet letters, not optional decorative forms.

## How to type and insert these characters

### Enable Turkish Q or Turkish F

Use Turkish Q if you want a layout close to QWERTY, or Turkish F if that is your established typing system. Switch layouts from the Windows language control.

### Add a Turkish input source

Add Turkish Q or Turkish F in Keyboard settings. Open Keyboard Viewer to confirm the positions before typing names or passwords.

### Add Turkish to the keyboard

A Turkish mobile keyboard provides the complete alphabet and language-aware suggestions. Long-press menus on a non-Turkish layout may omit dotless ı or capital İ.

### Use Unicode when needed

Type the hexadecimal value and press Alt+X. Use 0131 for lowercase dotless ı, 0130 for uppercase dotted İ, 011F for ğ, and 015F for ş.

## Which Turkish letters differ from English?

Turkish uses the 29-letter Latin-based Turkish alphabet. Its distinctive characters include ç, ğ, ı, İ, ö, ş, and ü, each with an uppercase or lowercase partner.

The most important casing distinction is I/ı versus İ/i. English-style casing can produce the wrong character in a Turkish name or word, so copy the correct pair or use a Turkish-aware keyboard.

Turkish Ö and Ü share Unicode characters with two-dot letters in other languages, but their alphabet position and pronunciation are determined by Turkish.

**Turkish has two different I pairs**

Dotless lowercase ı uppercases to I. Dotted lowercase i uppercases to İ. A software operation that applies English casing rules can lose this distinction.

## Questions about Turkish letters

### What are the special letters in Turkish?

The distinctive set is Ç ç, Ğ ğ, I ı, İ i, Ö ö, Ş ş, and Ü ü.

### What is the lowercase form of Turkish I?

The lowercase form of dotless capital I is ı. Lowercase i instead pairs with capital dotted İ.

### Is ğ the same as g?

No. Ğ and ğ are separate Turkish alphabet characters called soft G. Preserve the breve in correct spelling.

### Which Turkish keyboard should I use?

Turkish Q is closer to familiar QWERTY positions. Turkish F is an alternative optimized layout. Choose the one required by your environment or existing typing habits.

### Are Turkish ö and ü umlauts?

They use the same Unicode two-dot characters seen in German, but in Turkish they are alphabet letters with Turkish-specific pronunciation and ordering.
