Чч

The letter “че

/ch/

Ч ч sounds like ch, as in "chat". Looks like the digit 4; read carefully so you don't mix them up.

Where is Ч on the keyboard?

On Russian Phonetic, ч is on the key QWERTY prints as "[", right little finger. On ЙЦУКЕН it is on the key QWERTY prints as "x", left ring finger. Two different physical keys for one letter, which is why moving between the two layouts is its own skill rather than a detail.
