This layout is an extension of the French improved keyboard. In addition to standard and extended French, it supports all special and diacritic characters needed for the Vietnamese, Chinese (Pinyin romanization), and certain African languages.

The accompanying Excel sticker map facilitates the orientation among the few hundred special characters supported by the layout.

The layout also demonstrates the use of non-togglable KANA to increase the number of available modifier positions.
