Ъ used to be a very common letter in the Russian alphabet. This is because before the 1918 reform, any word ending with a non-palatalized consonant was written with a final Ъ — e.g., pre-1918 вотъ vs. post-reform вот.

A number of modern operating systems, such as macOS and Linux, offer the choice of using phonetic keyboard layout for Russian instead of the default layout. To create a phonetic keyboard layout for Microsoft Windows, a special "keyboard layout editor" software, such as MSKLC, [3] available for free from Microsoft, is necessary.

[12] For instance, шофёр (from French chauffeur) was pronounced [ʂoˈfɛr] ⓘ in the early twentieth century, [13] but is now pronounced ...
