How to type.
Look for the character and indicate it. If you do not find the character, press the Next for more predicted characters.

For yuktakshars, put the halant/ref shown in red in between the consonants.

These are all according to standard Unicode rules for digital input of Bengali but you have to grow familiar.

Here are few examples.

সুর্য = স + ু + র + ্ + য

Note that was a yuktakshar, so you put a ref in between.

প্রেরণা = প + ্ + র + ে + র + ণ + া

Note that the matra (a dependent vowel is always entered after the consonant even though it may be actually occuring before in form). That is merely typography, not orthography.

আনন্দ = আ + ন + ন + ্ + দ

A typical yuktakshar usage.

পরিক্ষা = প + র + ি + ক + ্ + ষ + া

Did you know, khyo is actually only a yuktakshar, you probably did.

সংখ্যা = স + ং + খ + ্ + য + া

A ja fala is a yuktakshar too.

ভাষ্কর্য = ভ + া + ষ + ্ + ক + র + ্ + য

Try them, you will soon figure out.

রাষ্ট্রিয় = র + া + ষ + ্ + ট + ্ + র + ি + য়

This was a three letter consonant cluster, again a yuktakshar and note that antastha ya is a character in Bengali. It doesnt occur in Hindi though, their jamuna is yamuna anyway. :)

ভয়ঙ্কর = ভ + য় + ঙ + ্ + ক + র

You know this, by now.

বৃহত = ব + ৃ + হ + ত

the rhi fala is not a yuktakshar, its a matra only. Each character type, swar varna, vyanjan varna, matra, special symbols are shown in different colours in the Panini Keypad for your assistance and also learning.

শালবনী = শ + া + ল + ব + ন + ী

The Panini Keypad is a dictionaryless technology so it will assist you to write words within and outside the dictionary, its based on linguistics and it is at the next level from what you are familiar with, yes globally.

This Bengali product was made with bias for both the forms of Bengali as written in India and Bangladesh. :)

Hope that was enough if you tried each of them. The Panini Keypad will assist you with the accurate predictions along the way. Space twice for a purna viram.

Have the patience to learn and very soon you will be typing faster in Bengali than you write in English on your phone.

The Ergonomic mode is for your thumbing and Nearest Key mode more appropriate for using when using your finger.

This is a new paradigm on how non latin languages are efficiently supported on digital devices and this has been developed for every language of India and the world. Its a breakthrough. Keep the faith and spread the word!
