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:
Type "क", then the halant key combo, then "ष" to form the joined cluster.
Type "त", then the halant key combo, then "र" to form the joined cluster.
Type "ज", then the halant key combo, then "ञ" to form the joined cluster.
Type "त", then the halant key combo, then "त" to form the joined cluster.
Type "द", then the halant key combo, then "ध" to form the joined cluster.
Type "द", then the halant key combo, then "व" to form the joined cluster.
Type "श", then the halant key combo, then "र" to form the joined cluster.
Type "द", then the halant key combo, then "य" to form the joined cluster.
Type "ट", then the halant key combo, then "ट" to form the joined cluster.
Type each romanized chunk in sequence — the strokes join automatically as you go.
Two invisible characters that control whether letters visually merge — useful for getting half-forms and reph exactly right.
Forces two letters to stay visually separate instead of forming a conjunct — handy when a word needs the sounds distinct.
Encourages a joined / half-form rendering between two letters where the font would otherwise keep them separate.
