How to Use the Tamil Virtual Keyboard
A specialized tool for Tamil (தமிழ்) digital writing. Designed to support the standard Tamil Inscript layout for professional and personal use.
⌨️ Layout Overview
The keyboard layout provides a visual guide for the Tamil script on a standard QWERTY board:
- Top-Right: The English key reference for your physical keyboard.
- Center: The main Tamil Mei-eluthu (Consonants) or Uyir-eluthu (Vowels).
- Bottom-Left: Shift-activated Uyir-mei signs (Matras) or secondary letters.
💡 Tamil Typing Tips
Pulli (The Dot): Use the d key (்) to create a pure consonant (e.g., க + ் = க்).
Uyir-Mei Combination: Type the consonant first, then the vowel sign (e.g., க + ா = கா). The keyboard automatically positions the sign.
Special Sound ழ (Zha): This unique Tamil character is located on the Shift + , (comma) key.
