Using a foreign language font?

Hello there,

I was wondering if there was anyway I could somehow use the Cyrillic alphabet in some of my writings, bios, ete.

My character, Chto, is only able to speak Russian, and up until now, I've been phonetically sounding out words and typing them out in the English alphabet, which can be a bit tedious and difficult.

I've tried to copy and paste out various letters to spell out certain words, but for some reason my computer won't register them, so a word like "Privyet" written in Russian instead turns into "????et".

This also goes for various symbols like the <3 symbol and other symbols, which have never worked for me.

Is there anyway I can fix this?

Ah, thank you very much. Yes

Ah, thank you very much.

Yes and no. I've been taking classes, yet I still have a long way to go before I'm actually fluent. Really, this is a good way for me to practice grammar and conjugation skills that I've already learned.

Edit; Is there a code or something I need? All it's really doing is putting words into the cyrillic form (most of which is a bit innacurate). Apologies...

Ah, if you write them in roman letters he converts into cyrillic, if you write cyrillic he converts them into the code you need.

Oh, okay! I don't have a

Oh, okay! I don't have a cyrillic keyboard... bugger... I suppose I'll just copy and paste letters then, thank you so much.

Editagain; It's only giving me exactly what I've written if I just write cyrillic. I've played around with the settings and reading the tips but I'm not at all sure on what I'm doing in the first place as it's never given me any sort of code. I'm really not all that tech-savvy... hm ;;
