Runeboard Keyboard Help

This keyboard is designed for typing the English language, using the runic script (Anglo-Saxon Fuþorc runes), with a standard 104- or 105-key layout.

This keyboard is also designed for typing the Proto-Germanic language, using the runic script (Elder Fuþark runes), with a standard 104- or 105-key layout. Consequently, it can also type other Germanic languages using the same script.

Although not designed for the purpose, this keyboard does have the ability to type the Old Norse language, using the runic script (Younger Fuþark runes), with a standard 104- or 105-key layout.

The layout contains the entire Unicode Runic Block, including the Franks Casket runes and the 3 novel runes invented by Tolkien. The ability of any given machine to display one or more of these characters may be limited by which fonts are installed on it.

The K_Z key is the Zero Width Joiner [ZWJ]. In fonts which support bindrunes/ligatures, type it after one rune and before another to create a supported bindrune.

The space key outputs U+16EB RUNIC SINGLE PUNCTUATION. A regular space can be accessed throught the SHIFT+SPACE key.

Tablet Layout

Due to the size and number of keys, some characters are hidden in the long press. Press and hold on the key with a little dot on the top right to reveal and use them.
