క్ + vowels

క = ka, కా = kaa/kA, కి = ki, కీ = kee/kii/kI, కు = ku, కూ = koo/kuu/kU కె = ke, కే = kae/kE, కై = kai, కొ = ko, కో = koa/kO, కౌ = kau/kou/kow కం = kaM/kamx, కఁ = kamxx, కః = kaH కృ = krux, కౄ = kRux

x, ` and X modifiers

x when applied after certain Telugu letters modifies them. For e.g. kruxpaa = కృపా, Rux = ౠ, 1x = ౧ (numeral 1) Whenever x does not take the role of a modifier, it just prints 'క్ష్'. For e.g. laxman = లక్ష్మన్ ` when applied before certain Telugu consonants modifies them. For e.g. `g = ఙ్, `j = ఞ్ ` when applied between certain Telugu consonants (like k`h, g`h, t`h, d`h, etc.) helps them to form their natural conjuncts. For e.g. bakkiMghaam = బక్కింఘామ్ whereas bakkiMg`haam = బక్కింగ్హామ్ X can be applied between Telugu consonants to avoid forming the natural conjunct (which would have occurred otherwise). For e.g. vatsalaa = వత్సలా whereas vatXsalaa = వత్‌సలా X can also be applied between certain Telugu vowels (say 'ai' or 'ou') to help them get separated into their component vowels. For e.g. priyaiMDiyaa = ప్రియైండియా whereas priyaXiMDiyaa = ప్రియ‌ఇండియా
