How to write Skoda correctly!

[Yorkshire]

Ever wondered how to have the correct S in Skoda, it should be Š, Škoda.

on your keyboard hold down the ALT key and type 0138 and you get Š.

So now you know how to spell out Škoda correctly. :happy:

Found on Facebook, Škoda UK.

OK, moderators let's have the right Š in the forum.

  The four digit hex should be 008A. I don't have a mac so can't test it.

  Mats Petersson Actually, that's wrong, the code is 0160. And on Linux you do that with Ctrl-Shift-U then 0160 + enter: Š
  If you want to have other codes, they can be found here:

Glad the way of typing Škoda on Linux was mentioned. I knew I'd seen the trick before but run through loads of weird combinations trying to get it but without success. On the plus side I appear to have a new Šhakespeare play if anyone's interested

Doesn't work for me as I'm on a laptop and don't have the second set of numbered keys on the right...

try using the number lock, then you can use the numbers in the middle of the keyboard (for example, on an HP num lock and U gives 4 - you should see the numbers written on each key, probably in a different colour))

Never mind the spelling, is your pronounciation correct?

Škoda should be pronounced...

Shkod-uh

as opposed to

Skoad-ah

Š š : sh sound in ship

K k : k sound in kit

O o : o sound in hot

D d : d sound in dog

A a : u sound in fun
