Note

Click on the virāma ္ (diacritic in the center) to combine two consonants.
For example: type k + virama + k က ္ ခ to obtain က္ခ

Grey characters are rare; they are mainly used for Pali loanwords.

How to use

To type directly with the computer keyboard:

• Type + for the phat-hsint (virāma) ္ (to combine two consonants): this is a control character; it does not appear directly in the text
• Type x for the asat ် (especially after a vowel)
• Use uppercase for letters transcribed with a dot: T, Th, D, Dh, N
• Type G (majuscule) or ng pour င
• Type J (majuscule) or ñ for ဉ and JJ or Ñ for ည
• Type - after a consonant to add the ha-hto mark (for aspirated consonants) ှ
• Type = after a consonant or diacritic (y, r, w, h) to toggle its form.
• Type aa, ii, uu (or î, û) for the long vowels ā, ī, ū
• Type a to remove the asat ်; type aa for the vowel diacritic ာ, or aa= for the variant ါ. Type A or â for the independent vowel ဠ (glottal stop used as a consonant).
• Type M for the thethe-tin (anusvara) ံ
• Type H for the wut-sa-pauk (visarga) း
• Type _ for the aukmyit (dot below) ့
• Type / or | for the pote (danda) ၊ and twice for the pote-ma (double danda)
