Click the Cyrillic letters on the virtual keyboard, or use your physical keyboard with the standard ЙЦУКЕН layout. The layout maps every Russian letter onto an English key: "a" types ф, "o" types щ, "k" types л, and so on. Hold Shift for capital letters.
The Russian alphabet has 33 letters: 21 consonants, 10 vowels (а е ё и о у ы э ю я) and two signs (ъ and ь). It is a Cyrillic script, written left-to-right.
The Cyrillic script is used by Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Belarusian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian and more than 50 other languages across Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
On the Russian layout, the soft sign ь is on the "m" key (Shift gives Ь) and the hard sign ъ is on the "]" key (Shift gives Ъ). You can also find them in the alphabet grid below the keyboard.
