Phones should have a language-agnostic input option where you get to choose supported character sets. It could be combined with a multi-lingual spell check that learns the languages you type in.
I don’t necessarily want to switch to the Icelandic keyboard to type an occasional place name correctly.
@anuko@jhilden The special glyphs you get to access this way depend on your keyboard layout/language settings though. I don’t get any options when I use the German or Dutch keyboard layout. A few when switching to the English one. Would be nice to be able to customize this (I guess access to all options would overwhelm the UI too much)
I have selected English (UK), Finnish and Spanish keyboards in the settings, but I also see Sámi and Icelandic letters when I touch and hold a letter. I don't know where they come from.
@anuko@jhilden You can switch between your installed keyboard layouts with the globe pictogram. Try switching to the English layout and compare. Each gives you access to a different set of glyphs Apple thought would be wanted by someone using that keyboard layout ¯_(ツ)_/¯
