What is the JCUKEN Layout?

JCUKEN (ЙЦУКЕН in Cyrillic) is the standard keyboard layout for typing in Russian on Windows computers. Named after the first six letters in the top row (similar to how QWERTY is named), this layout arranges Cyrillic letters in a specific pattern that's optimized for the Russian language. The layout has been the standard for Russian keyboards since typewriter days and remains the most common way to type Russian text on computers today.
