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.

ka kA ki kI ku kU ke kai ko kau kaM kaH ਕ ਕਾ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਕੁ ਕੂ ਕੇ ਕੈ ਕੋ ਕੌ ਕਂ ਕਃ

Note: In the Gurumukhi 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 --> 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'.

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'.

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'.

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.
