found the right character. Your keyboard will automatically swap back to the
ABC keyboard.

Typing on a Virtual Keyboard
Typing on the virtual keyboard is nearly identical to typing on a physical keyboard.
The main difference is that the virtual keyboard does not offer any arrow keys.
(You have to touch the screen to move the cursor.) In addition, if you type part of
a word, the virtual keyboard may display the correct and complete spelling of that
word, which you can choose by pressing the spacebar.

the letter or number virtual keyboards.
