This article describes how to find the apostrophe on the keyboard in various layouts: Russian, English or Ukrainian. The easiest way to do this is in the last two: a separate key is provided for these purposes. That is, you can enter this symbol without changing the keyboard layout. But in Russian, too, there is a simple and affordable solution. You can use ASCII code to enter it. All these options will be described in the framework of the proposed article.
English layout
Apostrophe on the keyboard with this layout is located on the same key with the Russian letter "e". It is not so rare in English, and such a decision is more than justified. No need to memorize a combination of characters and use it as needed. It’s enough only with such an active layout (in the lower right corner of the screen on the taskbar there should be a combination of “En”), just press the Russian “e”, which is located in the center row next to “Enter”, and after that appears in the open document “'” .
Ukrainian version
A similar situation is in the Ukrainian language. It can be found even in the word "computer". In this case, it is located on the same key with the Russian letter "" or the English tinda (symbol ~). This is the answer to where the apostrophe is on the Ukrainian keyboard. But such use is provided only in the latest versions of the Windows operating system starting with Vista. But in earlier ones I had to use the “Ctrl” combination and at the same time I had to press twice the Russian “e”. It works on the latest versions of the OS, but it is more convenient to use a separate key.
Universal way
In the Russian language, the apostrophe is extremely rare. These are usually words of foreign origin. For example, the legendary hero of the French writer Dumas - D'Artagnan. In this case, you can offer three options for solving this problem. There is no apostrophe on the keyboard in the Russian layout. Therefore, it is possible to switch to English or Ukrainian for a short time to enter one “'”, and then return back. But this is not entirely convenient. It’s easier to use the ASCII code. To do this, immediately hold down "Alt" and then enter the digital code. In this case, it is 039. Consistently dial 039 and get an apostrophe. Another method will be described a little further.
But what about WORD?
In this case, you can use the text editor menu. We go to the tab "Insert" and on it we find the field "Symbol". We make a single click with the left mouse button on it. In the window that opens, by moving (use the navigation keys with arrows) over the character set, find “» ”and insert it by pressing“ Enter ”. After that, close the window and you're done. This is the last way to type an apostrophe on the keyboard. Not very convenient, but if you need to enter “'” once, then you can use it.
Summary
As part of this material, various ways of finding the apostrophe on the keyboard have been described. The easiest way to do this is in English or Ukrainian. But this can also be done in Russian. Just use the ASCII code. In each case, it is better to use the key intended for this language or their combination. This can significantly increase productivity. Therefore, it is better to know each option and use them as necessary.
