The "English and Čeština" keyboard no longer has a háček in the bottom right, so users who used it as a special character in passwords — separate from ě, š, č, ř, ž — are unable to enter their password.

Now, only ě, š, č, ř, ž can be typed (through long presses), but:

1. C followed by ˇ is different from Č.
2. Previously, it was possible to type ˇ outside of standard orthographical contexts; you could type ˇ after k, for example. Now, this is impossible.

Hello.

I have a bit of a unique situation. I updated my iPhone 13 from iOS 26.3.1 to 26.4. The update removed the caron/háček character from the keyboard (which I'd been using as a "special character" — by itself) such that I can't type the passcode in despite being 100% certain what it is. The new keyboard has a different character where the caron used to be.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can access the device's data? I have no backups of the device whatsoever.

Hello.

I recently updated from iOS 26.3 to 26.4 and can't enter my password. It depends on characters which aren't present on the newer version of the keyboard. So, is there a way for me or a technician to downgrade my phone's iOS version such that I can enter my password, change it to something compatible with 26.4's keyboard, and update? I can't get into my phone at this point and would hate to lose all my photos.
