Punctuation Marks:

The English symbols [ ] { } ( ) - + * / = ; : . , " ? ! % \ ~ _ @ convert to the same symbols in Bengali 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.

ka kA ki kI ku kU kRu kRU ke kai ko kau kaM kaH ক কা কি কী কু কূ কৃ কৄ কে কৈ কো কৌ কং কঃ

Note: In the Bengali phonetic keyboard, an implicit 'a' matra is assumed for the last consonant of the word.

k,c,T,t,p --> ka,ca,Ta,ta,pa --> ক,চ,ট,ত,প

When two or more consecutive consonants appear in the input, they make a consonant conjunct. The last consonant takes the full form and the preceding consonants become half consonants.

nyAy=ন্য়ায়

‘হ’ consonant can be written in two ways; 'h', '~h'. If you want to apply a ‘হ’ half consonant to consonants such as 'k', 'g', 't', 'd', etc, you have to use '~h' instead of of 'h'.

bakkiMg~hAm=বক্কিংগ্হাম

ZWJ, ZWNJ:

^=ZWJ (zero width joiner)

^^=ZWNJ (zero width non joiner)

Usually when a consonant cluster (two or more consecutive consonants) occurs, it will be rendered as a ligature if that is available in the font. The ZWJ and ZWNJ can be used to produce an alternate rendering of the ligatures.

If a consonant is followed by the ZWJ, half-form of the consonant is formed.

rak^ShaNa=রক্‍ষণ t^=ত্‍

If a dead consonant (consonant with hasant symbol) is required, the ZWNJ character should be used after the consonant.

rAj^^kumAr=রাজ্‌কুমার t^^=ত্‌

If two English characters are making one Bengali vowel (ex: ai, ou), then, ZWJ or ZWNJ character can be used to separate them into different vowels.

iMDiYa^^inPo=ইংডিয‌ইন্ফো
