Ulyanovsk in Russia has a monument dedicated to the letter Ρ‘ (yo) which is often replaced by Π΅ (ye) due to awkward placement on keyboard (I suspect?).

On translit keyboard layout which I'm using it's no bother, so I can write Ρ‘Ρ‘Ρ‘Ρ‘ as much as I like πŸ˜€

@kravietz We should have more monuments for underappreciated letters. :)

Yes, someone also mentioned German umlauts in this context!

Fortunately, Polish spelling is so bloody complicated that nobody even approaches it without a proper Polish keyboard πŸ˜‚ All diacritics are however available as Alt combinations so Alt-O makes Γ“ so quite easy.

In Russian translit keyboard Ρ‘ is placed at Shift-3 so replacing # which is not much of a loss.

@kravietz I once a long time ago worked on a web site project that had a Polish version of the whole interface, and we were all German developers, none spoke Polish. There I learned to respect Polish spelling. It was quite a challenge to make sure it’s all correct! πŸ˜…

A lot of Polish people are struggling with this on daily basis πŸ˜‚
