Now you can! With the official release of the new Philippines National Keyboard Layout, Filipino all-over the world can now type the characters that before we have to copy-and-paste elsewhere (or memorize ASCII codes).

For example, if I want to type “ñ”, I just click (RAlt)/AltGr+n and I get ñ. Typing Batangueño is now way much faster and easy. Or if you are creating financial reports and your currency is in Philippine Peso, forget about typing PHP/Php, just press (RAlt)/AltGr+p and you get the ₱eso sign.

Font availability is not a problem at all. Months ago I tested the ₱eso sign availability by simply asking it on µblogs and social networks – Linux, Windows, and Mac users can see it! And Ññ of course has been in the ASCII range (0-255) for a looooong time already.

Here’s more, start typing in Baybayin (or Alibata as was wrongly labeled by our Education system) direct from your keyboard! No need to use online typepads or copy pasting, or escaping via HTML codes, just type as you would when typing in Latin.

My name in Baybayin: ᜑᜓᜏᜈ᜔ ᜐᜒᜐᜒ ᜃᜓᜈᜒᜆ (Huwan Sese Kuneta; JC John Sese Cuneta)
Baybayin in Baybayin: ᜊᜌ᜔ᜊᜌᜒᜈ᜔
Mabuhay in Baybayin: ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔

But as you can see, you will need a font to display the Baybayin characters. Soon however, newer versions of different operating systems will have a Baybayin font included, we are working on it. For now, as a temporary solution, you can download one of the 30-50 Baybayin fonts available online! Yes, we have that much fonts, Filipinos are creating new fonts left and right.

Can someone read it? Oh yes. Offline and online. If you are in Megapolitan Manila, probably you haven’t seen or met one yet, but outside of Mega Manila, there are lots. Online, you probably encountered us talking in Baybayin via Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Identi.ca/Status.net, Multiply, even on our blogs and comments, but you don’t have a font.

Fair enough. We included a Baybayin font created by Nordenx, in our downloadable zip files. Simply install it and voila, you will start seeing the beautiful Baybayin writing script of our great Nation.

Ok, enough talk, head on over to these links to install the Philippines National Keyboard Layout (with Baybayin).
