The Czech alphabet consists of 42 letters (or more precisely - graphemes):
However letters 'q' and 'w' are used exclusively only in foreign words, and are soon replaced with 'kv' and 'v' once the word becomes more common. An alphabet is a complete standardized set of letters — basic written symbols — each of which roughly represents a phoneme of a spoken language, either as it exists now or as it may have been in the past. ... A grapheme designates the atomic unit in written language. ...

Most of the diacritic letters were added to the alphabet through reforms brought about by Jan Hus at the beginning of the 15th century to replace the digraphs and trigraphs used to write Czech sounds that had no equivalent in the Latin alphabet. During the 16th century, the letter "Ů" (historically an "Ó" but now pronounced as "Ú") was added to the list.

The acute accent letters (Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ý) and Ů indicate long vowels. They have the same alphabetical ordering as their non-diacritic counterparts. The hacek (ˇ) indicates historical palatalization of the base letter.
