◌़= x (nukta)
Zero Width Joiner = ^
Zero Width Non Joiner = ^^
Extended Characters:
The consonants with a nukta (dot) under them can be obtained by using the 'x' character following the respective consonants as shown below. These characters are mainly used for words borrowed from other languages.
Example:
क़ = kx ----> हक़ीक़त = hakxIkxat
ख़ = Kx ----> ख़ुश = Kxush
ग़ = gx ----> पैग़ाम = paigxAm
ज़ = z,jx ----> बज़ार = bazAr(bajxAr)
ड़ = Dx ----> िखलािड़ = KilADxi
ढ़ = Dhx ----> सीढ़ी = sIDhxI
फ़ = f,Px ---> कािफ़ = kAfi(kAPxi)
य़ = Y,yx
Punctuation Marks:
The English symbols [ ] { } ( ) - + * / = । ; : . , " ? ! % \ ~ _ translate into the same symbols in Devanagari also.
Quotation Marks:
` ' characters are converted to single smart quotes(` ') characters.
We can get double smart quotes(`` '') by using them twice.
