Esperanto is a constructed language created in 1887 by L.L. Zamenhof with the purposes of becoming a neutral, easy-to-learn, universal language. It has an estimated 2 million speakers. The esperanto alphabet includes letters such as: ĝ, ĥ, ĉ, ŝ, and ŭ. These letters and their diacritics are not found on any of Apple's keyboards (though the U.S. - Extended keyboard on Macs can be used to type these characters). Therefore, it is extremely difficult to type these letters specifically with their diacritics (they are usually represented with an x or a h after the letter). Most communication in Esperanto is done online, and people using Apple devices would have trouble communicating with the diacritics. If Apple added a keyboard to their devices including these diacritics, it would be easier to type and communicate in the language.
