Mobile Keyboard Layout
The mobile layout can use the same keystrokes as the desktop. However, the mobile layout also has most of the special characters on longpress keys as well. For example, epsilon can be typed by using longpress e. The combining marks can also be typed different from the desktop keyboard. There is a key to the right of the spacebar where the combining marks can be accessed. If you do it this way, the combining mark must be typed after the base character (not before as the desktop does).
