Punctuation Marks:
The English symbols [ ] { } ( ) - + * / = ; : . , " ? ! % \ ~ _ | # $ convert to the same symbols in Gurumukhi also.
Quotation Marks:
` ' characters are converted to single smart quotes(‘ ’) characters. We can get double smart quotes(“ ”) by using them twice.
When a consonant character is followed by a vowel character, it results in a live consonant.

Example ka kA ki kI ku kU ke kai ko kau kaM kaH ਕ ਕਾ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਕੁ ਕੂ ਕੇ ਕੈ ਕੋ ਕੌ ਕਂ ਕਃ maiM ikk bhAratIy hAM ਮੈਂ ਇੱਕ ਭਾਰਤੀਯ ਹਾਂ |
Note:
In the Gurumukhi phonetic keyboard, an implicit 'a' matra is assumed for the last consonant of the word.
|
Example: k,c,T,t,p --> ka,ca,Ta,ta,pa --> ਕ,ਚ,ਟ,ਤ,ਪ |
When a nasal consonant such as ਙ, ਞ, ਣ, ਨ, or ਮ occurs consecutively, a tippi ( ੰ ) symbol is placed on the previous character. tippi can also be explicitly specified using '~n'.
|
Example: ammA = ਅੰਮਾ mu~nDA = ਮੁੰਡਾ |
When any other consonant occurs consecutively, a addak ( ੱ ) symbol is placed on the previous character. addak can also be explicitly specified using '~m'.
|
Example: dillee = ਦਿੱਲੀ ba~mchA = ਬੱਚਾ |
‘ਹ’ consonant can be written in two ways; 'h', '~h'. If you want to apply a ‘ਹ’ half consonant to consonants such as 'k', 'g', 't', 'd', etc, you have to use '~h' instead of of 'h'.
|
Example: bakkiMghAm = ਬੱਕਿਂਘਾਮ bakkiMg~hAm = ਬੱਕਿਂਗ੍ਹਾਮ |
ZWJ, ZWNJ:
^ = ZWJ (zero width joiner)
^^ = ZWNJ (zero width non joiner)
If two English characters are making one Gurumukhi vowel (ex: ai, ou), then, ZWJ or ZWNJ character can be used to separate them into different vowels.

Example: iMDiyainfo = ਇਂਡਿਯੈਨ੍ਫ਼ੋ iMDiya^info = ਇਂਡਿਯਇਨ੍ਫ਼ੋ |
