Frequently asked questions

Can I really use a Persian Keyboard in Slack without installing it?

Yes. The Persian Keyboard above runs in your browser. Type your text, click Copy, then paste into Slack — that's all there is to it.

Will Slack display the characters correctly?

Modern versions of Slack render Unicode out of the box. If you ever see boxes (□□□), switch the font to a Unicode-complete face such as Noto, Arial Unicode MS or Segoe UI.

Does this method work on mobile Slack?

Yes. Open this page in your phone's browser, type with the Persian Keyboard, tap Copy, then paste into the Slack app on iOS or Android.

Is the text I paste into Slack private?

Everything you type happens locally in your browser — TypeKeyboard does not send keystrokes anywhere. Once pasted into Slack, normal Slack privacy rules apply.
