Conjuncts (Consonant Clusters)

The consonant conjuncts get formed automatically as you keep typing your words. For e.g. पक्का = pakkaa, बक्ति = bakti, आर्या = aaryaa मल्लिका = mallikaa, द्वनि = dvani, काव्या = kaavyaa विस्वम = visvam, राष्ट्रिय = raaShTriya, etc. etc.

Purna Viram or Danda

। = .x, ॥ = .xx क। = ka.x, क॥ = ka.xx मेरा नाम व्रिशिन है । मेरा बेटा वकील है ॥

Others

अ॑ = aq, अ॒ = aqq, अ॓ = aQ, अ॔ = aQQ

x, ` and X modifiers

x when applied after certain Hindi letters modifies them. For e.g. kruxpaa = कृपा, Rux = ॠ, Sx = ऽ (avagraha), 1x = १ (hindi numeral 1), .x = । (danda) Whenever x does not take the role of a modifier, it just prints 'क्ष'. For e.g. laxman = लक्ष्मन ` when applied before certain Hindi consonants modifies them. For e.g. `g = ङ, `j = ञ, j`j = ज्ञ ` when applied between certain Hindi consonants (like k`h, g`h, t`h, d`h, etc.) helps them to form their natural conjuncts. For e.g. bakkiMghaam = बक्किंघाम whereas bakkiMg`haam = बक्किंग्हाम X can be applied between Hindi consonants to help form their half-consonants. For e.g. lakshman = लक्ष्मन whereas lakXshman = लक्‍श्मन bakti = बक्ति whereas bakXti = बक्‍ति XX can be applied between Hindi consonants to help form consonants with halant symbol. For e.g. baakyaa = बाक्या whereas baakXXyaa = बाक्‌या XX (or X) can be applied between certain Hindi vowels (say 'ai' or 'ou') to help them get separated into their component vowels. For e.g. priyaiMDiyaa = प्रियैंडिया whereas priyaXiMDiyaa = प्रिय‍इंडिया
