Every key on the keyboard below IS the character it types — click it and it lands in your writing above, right at the cursor. There is no second alphabet to learn: letters, Urdu-specific letters and signs each have their own key.
Building a word is just clicking its parts in order, right to left: for اردو, click ا, then ر, then د, then و.

A Native Urdu Writing Workspace

This is direct Urdu writing, not typing English and converting it. If your phone or computer already has an Urdu keyboard or IME installed, it works here immediately — this is a plain right-to-left writing box, exactly like any other. If it doesn't, the on-screen Perso-Arabic keyboard below gives you every character without installing anything: recognise the letter you want, click it, and it's added at your cursor.

Every key is labelled in the Urdu script itself, not a Roman code to memorise, and organised so the signs and letters you reach for constantly are never buried at the bottom of a long list.

The Complete Urdu Alphabet, Not Just the Common Letters

Beyond the everyday letters — ا ب ت ج د ر ز س ش ف ق ک ل م ن و ہ ی — this keyboard includes the letters that make Urdu distinct from a generic Arabic layout — آ پ ٹ چ ڈ ڑ ژ گ ں ھ ے — and the additional letters kept for correctly spelling Arabic and Persian loanwords — ث ح خ ذ ص ض ط ظ ع غ. Nothing on the standard Urdu alphabet was left off to make the keyboard shorter.

Hamza Forms and Joining

Hamza and its two carrier letters — ء، ئ، ؤ — have their own keys, along with the one diacritic everyday Urdu writing actually uses, tanwin (ً, the "-an" ending in words like فوراً). Letters that combine — like a base consonant followed by ھ to form an aspirate such as بھ — join correctly the instant they're typed next to each other; the browser's own Arabic-script shaping does the work, the same way a Hindi matra composes onto a consonant with no extra logic needed.
