They share most letters (č, š, ž, ť, ď, ň), but each has its own. Czech uses ř (r with háček) and ů (u with ring), while Slovak adds ľ, ĺ, ŕ, ä and the long ô. This cheatsheet covers both sets.

The háček (ˇ) is the little check above letters like č, š, ž and softens the sound. The čárka (´) is an acute accent that lengthens a vowel (á, é, í, ó, ú). Slovak also uses the ring (˚) in ů-style letters.

Alt codes require a numeric keypad with Num Lock on, which most laptops lack. Use the copy buttons above instead — they work on any device with no numpad needed.

Press and hold the base letter on your phone's on-screen keyboard to reveal accented variants (hold c for č, s for š, z for ž). Or copy any character from the table above and paste it into your app.
