Mapping for the Continuous Phonetic Based Input Method

The following figures show the existing mappings from English to the phonetic equivalent characters in the target Indic scripts. Use these illustrations as a reference until you know all the mappings for the script that you use. Mappings given here are intuitive, so you should be able to input most of the characters without looking up the illustration.

In these mappings, special characters such as ‘.’ and ‘|’ included as part of the mapping are escaped with a ‘\’ character. If not escaped, the ‘|’ character acts as a separator when more than one token represents the same UTF-8 character.
