Important note on "t, T, d, D, th, Th, dh, Dh"
In Azhagi's Unicode Editor, if you click on 'Tools->Options' and select the 'classic' style (which is the default style, as such), then the mappings for "t, T, d, D, th, Th, dh, Dh" change (To view the key-mappings table for the same, please visit multi.html and click on 'classic style' link given under your chosen language). In Azhagi+, you can effect this same setting by clicking 'Tools->Options->Other Languages'.
Important note on 'ch'
In Azhagi's Unicode Editor, if you click on 'Tools->Options' and tick the 'ch, Ch' checkbox, then 'ch' would also take the same mapping as that of 'c'.

| Consonants with nukta (dot) |
ড় = dxa, ঢ় = Dxa, য় = yxa
|
| Conjuncts (Consonant Clusters) |
|
The consonant conjuncts get formed automatically as you keep typing your words.
|
১ = 1x, ২ = 2x, ৩ = 3x, ৪ = 4x, ৫ = 5x
৬ = 6x, ৭ = 7x, ৮ = 8x, ৯ = 9x, ০ = 0x
|
x when applied after certain Assamese letters modifies them. For e.g.
kruxpaa = কৃপা, Rux = ৠ, ঽ = ऽ (avagraha), ১ = १ (Assamese numeral 1)
Whenever x does not take the role of a modifier, it just prints 'ক্ষ'. For e.g.
laxman = লক্ষ্মন
` when applied before certain Assamese consonants modifies them. For e.g.
`g = ঙ, `j = ঞ, j`j = জ্ঞ
` when applied between certain Assamese consonants (like k`h, g`h, t`h, d`h, etc.) helps them to form their natural conjuncts. For e.g.
bakkiMghaam = বক্কিংঘাম whereas bakkiMg`haam = বক্কিংগ্হাম
X can be applied between Assamese consonants to help form their half-consonants. For e.g.
rakshaa = ৰক্ষা whereas rakXshaa = ৰক্শা
XX can be applied between Assamese consonants to help form consonants with halant symbol. For e.g.
baakyaa = বাক্যা whereas baakXXyaa = বাক্যা
X or XX can be applied between certain Assamese vowels (say 'ai' or 'ou') to help them get separated into their component vowels. For e.g.
priyaiMdiyaa = প্ৰিযৈংডীযা whereas priyaXiMdiyaa = প্রিযইংডিযা
