Letters each language needs
Most fonts cover basic English letters only. Ghanaian and other West African languages use extra letters. If a font lacks them, your poster, programme or logo shows boxes or mixed fonts.

Questions people ask
Which fonts support Twi letters?
Fonts that include ɛ, Ɛ, ɔ and Ɔ. The table above tests every font live in your browser and marks each one Yes or shows what is missing.
Why do Twi letters show as boxes or a different font?
The font you chose does not include those letters, so your computer swaps in another font or shows an empty box. Pick a font marked Yes for Twi.
Which letters do Ewe, Ga, Yoruba and Hausa need?
Ga adds ŋ. Ewe adds ŋ, ɖ, ƒ, ɣ and ʋ. Yoruba needs ẹ, ọ and ṣ plus tone marks. Hausa needs ɓ, ɗ, ƙ and ƴ.
How do I type ɛ and ɔ on my phone or computer?
Install a keyboard that supports Akan, such as Gboard with the Twi (Akan) language added, or a Ghanaian keyboard layout on your computer.
