We have letters that english does not have – č, š, ž. If you really can not find them (usually you can find them in symbols in Word or in other fonts) you can replace them. Instead of “č” you put “c”, instead of “š” you put “s”, instead of “ž” you put “z”. But you have to be aware that this is not correct as they are pronounced differently.
