Type it on our keyboard
Open the field already filled with š — type or click more, then copy. No install, works offline:
Codes
| Reference | š | Š |
|---|---|---|
| Unicode | U+0161 | U+0160 |
| HTML entity | š | Š |
| CSS escape | \0161 | \0160 |
| macOS — Unicode Hex Input | ⌥ 0161 | ⌥ 0160 |
| Windows — Word | 0161 Alt + X | 0160 Alt + X |
macOS hex input needs the “Unicode Hex Input” source enabled (System Settings → Keyboard). The Windows Alt + X trick works in Word and Outlook; elsewhere use the panel below.
On a Mac
- Press and hold the s key — an accent menu pops up; pick š.
- Character Viewer: ⌃⌘Space, search “s with caron (háček)”, double-click it.
On Windows
- Emoji & symbols: Win + ., switch to symbols, find š.
- Character Map (search it in the Start menu) → find š → Copy.
With PolyType installed
If you run the PolyType app or browser extension, type the base letter then the diacritic — no layout switch (the directive accents the letter immediately before it):
s;caron␣
The instant cycle ;;s also works (repeat to cycle variants).
This inline syntax needs PolyType running; without it, use a method above.
