Special Rules
If capital 'M' or capital 'H' or caret '^' appear after mamtramu -> బ ణరబు
conso, vowel or matra map them to 'chandrabindi', '
visarga ' or 'anuswar'. Exceptional case: If capital 'M' amthaHpuram -> అ ణ నుమ
or capital 'H' come at the start of a word it should be rEMdu -> రే ఠు
interpreted as small case 'm' and 'h'.

If 'RR' is followed by 'u', it is interpreted as 'RR' for RRu -> ఋ

Ra(Rishi).
If 'm' is followed by a consonant, replace it with mamtramu -> బ ణరబు
anuswar. Exceptional cases: 'my' (ma followed by
ya), mm (ma followed by ma) and mm (ma followed rEMdu -> రే ఠు
by na).
Character ‘_’ (underscore) can be used to generate In_baaks ఇన్న్‌పాక్స్
explicit half consonants and preventing the
formation of conjuncts. raaj_kumaar రషజ్‌ఔుబార్

Words ending with a consonant and "a" will be chaTTapara్‌ఙఞట నమ్‌

treated as ending with the full form of the
consonant.
A consonant followed by halant and ZWNJ and ఔ ् + [Ctrl-Shift-2] + ఔ = క్స్‌ఔ
consonant, joins them with an explicit halant.
