Connor Jones (Hacker News, Reddit):
A university student in the US is in data limbo after Apple removed a character from its Czech keyboard, preventing him from entering his iPhone passcode.
[…]
This is because iOS 18 was the last operating system version that allowed iPhone users to enter the special character – in this case, the caron/háček (ˇ) – using the old keyboard on the lock screen.
[…]
The student has not backed up the files to iCloud either, so they cannot be retrieved via a separate device. Apple support staff have suggested the only way to regain access to the iPhone 13 is by restoring it, which would erase the files of value.
[…]
Apple Support arranged for Byrne to attend a Genius Bar appointment, where the staffer behind the desk made no progress and even started restoring the phone without seeking the student’s consent.
My first thought was to plug in a USB keyboard, but apparently iOS doesn’t allow that before first unlock for security reasons.

Second, check out this Czech keyboard. Even within the limitations of the ancient QWERTY, there’s a lot of cool stuff happening here. Two new accented keys just appear on the top layer when you switch to Czech. Both have magical properties, too. They’re the modern “dead keys“ that either stand alone, or get combined with the previous letter if that makes sense.
