Building conjuncts (संयुक्ताक्षर)

Two or more consonants are joined with the halant/virama (् — the dotted-circle key shown on many key faces) before the next consonant. A few common combinations:

+ ् +=क्ष

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

+ ् +=त्र

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

+ ् +=ज्ञ

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

+ ् +=त्त

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

+ ् +=द्ध

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

+ ् +=द्व

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

+ ् +=श्र

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

+ ् +=द्य

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

+ ् +=ट्ट

Type "", then the halant key combo, then "" to form the joined cluster.

Worked example — typing "किकर्तव्यबिमुढ"
kiMkr/tv/ybimuX
किकर्तव्यबिमुढ

Type each romanized chunk in sequence — the strokes join automatically as you go.

ZWJ & ZWNJ

Two invisible characters that control whether letters visually merge — useful for getting half-forms and reph exactly right.

ZWNJ — Zero Width Non-Joiner (= key key)

Forces two letters to stay visually separate instead of forming a conjunct — handy when a word needs the sounds distinct.

ZWJ — Zero Width Joiner (= key)

Encourages a joined / half-form rendering between two letters where the font would otherwise keep them separate.
