However, the layout is not 100% intuitive for all characters. Halanta (vowel killer), conjuncts (संयुक्ताक्षर), and independent vowel signs have dedicated keys or combinations. The keyboard chart visually organizes these mappings, typically dividing them into four rows (top, upper, home, lower) and sections for modifiers (Shift, Alt, or dead keys).
| Key | Unshifted | Shifted | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | a | (A) | आ (Aa) | | s | स (Sa) | ष (Sha) | | d | द (Da) | ध (Dha) | | f | फ (Fa) | भ (Bha) | | g | ग (Ga) | घ (Gha) | | h | ह (Ha) | ह (H) | | j | ज (Ja) | झ (Jha) | | k | क (Ka) | ख (Kha) | | l | ल (La) | ळ (Lla – rare) |
