Vowel:
અ = a, આ = A,aa, ઇ = i, ઈ = I,ee, ઉ = u, ઊ = U,oo, ઋ = Ru, ૠ = RU, ઍ = ~e, એ = e,E, ઐ = ai, ઑ = ~o, ઓ = o,O, ઔ = au,ou
ઁ = ~M
ં = M
ઃ = H
Consonant:
ક = k, ખ = K,kh, ગ = g, ઘ = G,gh, ઙ = ~g
ચ = c,ch, છ = C,Ch, જ = j, ઝ = J,jh, ઞ = ~j
ટ = T, ઠ = Th, ડ = D, ઢ = Dh, ણ = N
ત = t, થ = th, દ = d, ધ = dh, ન = n
પ = p, ફ = P,ph, બ = b, ભ = B,bh, મ = m
ય = y, ર = r, લ = l, ળ = L, વ = v,w, શ = S,sh, ષ = Sh, સ = s, હ = h,~h
જ્ઞ = j~ja
ક્ષ = kSha
Others:
ઽ = &
ૐ = oum
₹ = Rs
ZWJ = ^
ZWNJ = ^^
Extended Characters:
The consonants with a nukta (dot) under them can be obtained by using the 'x' character following the respective consonants as shown below. These characters are mainly used for words borrowed from other languages.
|
Example: ક઼ = kx, ખ઼ = Kx, ગ઼ = gx, જ઼ = z,jx, ડ઼ = Dx, ઢ઼ = Dhx, ફ઼ = f,Px, ય઼ = Y,yx |
Punctuation Marks:
The English symbols [ ] { } ( ) - + * / = ; : . , " ? ! % \ ~ _ | # $ convert to the same symbols in Gujarati 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.

Example ka kA ki kI ku kU kRu kRU klRu klRU k~e ke kai k~o ko kau kaM kaH ક કા કિ કી કુ કૂ કૃ કૄ ક્લૃ ક્લૄ કૅ કે કૈ કૉ કો કૌ કં કઃ ame bhAratIya ChIe અમે ભારતીય છીએ |
Note:
In the Gujarati phonetic keyboard, an implicit 'a' matra is assumed for the last consonant of the word.
|
Example: k,c,T,t,p --> ka,ca,Ta,ta,pa -->ક,ચ,ટ,ત,પ |
When two or more consecutive consonants appear in the input, they make a consonant conjunct. The last consonant takes the full form and the preceding consonants become half consonants.
|
Example: nyAy = ન્યાય |
‘હ’ consonant can be written in two ways; 'h', '~h'. If you want to apply a ‘હ’ half consonant to consonants such as 'k', 'g', 't', 'd', etc, you have to use '~h' instead of of 'h'.
|
Example: bakkiMghAm = બક્કિંઘામ bakkiMg~hAm = બક્કિંગ્હામ |
ZWJ, ZWNJ:
^ = ZWJ (zero width joiner)
^^ = ZWNJ (zero width non joiner)
Usually when a consonant cluster (two or more consecutive consonants) occurs, it will be rendered as a ligature if that is available in the font. The ZWJ and ZWNJ can be used to produce an alternate rendering of the ligatures.
If a consonant is followed by the ZWJ, half-form of the consonant is formed.
|
Example: rakShaNa = રક્ષણ rak^ShaNa = રક્ષણ |
If a dead consonant (consonant with halant symbol) is required, the ZWNJ character should be used after the consonant.
|
Example: rAj^^kumAr = રાજ્કુમાર rAjkumAr^^ = રાજ્કુમાર્ |
If two English characters are making one Gujarati vowel (ex: ai, ou), then, ZWJ or ZWNJ character can be used to separate them into different vowels.
|
Example: iMDiyainPo = ઇંડિયૈન્ફો iMDiya^inPo = ઇંડિયઇન્ફો iMDiya^^inPo = ઇંડિયઇન્ફો |
