Cyrillic key positions

Use the diagram to locate й, ж, э and the other Cyrillic letters. Ё occupies the upper-left symbol position; brackets and several punctuation positions become letters in the Russian arrangement.

When text was typed in the wrong arrangement

Changing the input source fixes future typing. If a sentence was already entered using the wrong arrangement, use the layout converter to recover supported character-position pairs, then check the new input source before continuing.
