To create a phonetic keyboard layout for Microsoft Windows, a special "keyboard layout editor" software, such as MSKLC, [3] available for free from Microsoft, is necessary. A number of ready-made layout files for Microsoft Windows are available online for Russian [4] [5] and Belarusian. In 2010, Belarusian Latin layouts gained popularity.
Windows-1251 is an 8-bit character encoding, designed to cover languages that use the Cyrillic script such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Serbian Cyrillic, Macedonian and other languages.

Unicode includes few precomposed accented Cyrillic letters; the others can be combined by adding U+0301 ́ COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT after the accented vowel (e.g., е́ у́ э́); see below. Several diacritical marks not specific to Cyrillic can be used with Cyrillic text, including: in Combining Diacritical Marks block U+0300–U+036F.
Windows code pages are sets of characters or code pages (known as character encodings in other operating systems) used in Microsoft Windows from the 1980s and 1990s. Windows code pages were gradually superseded when Unicode was implemented in Windows, [citation needed] although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms, and still apply when Alt code shortcuts are used.
The Cyrillic alphabet and Russian spelling generally employ fewer diacritics than those used in other European languages written with the Latin alphabet. The only diacritic, in the proper sense, is the acute accent ́ (Russian: знак ударения 'mark of stress'), which marks stress on a vowel, as it is done in Spanish and Greek.
Microsoft was one of the first companies to implement Unicode in their products. Windows NT was the first operating system that used "wide characters" in system calls.Using the (now obsolete) UCS-2 encoding scheme at first, it was upgraded to the variable-width encoding UTF-16 starting with Windows 2000, allowing a representation of additional planes with surrogate pairs.
It works in Android, Google Chrome, Linux, Microsoft Windows 10 from 1607 including Cygwin, and in apps that support the OpenType CBDT format. [19] The Noto fonts cover 162 out of the 168 scripts defined in Unicode version 16.0 (released in September 2024), as well as various syllables and emoji which do not belong to a specific script.
