The synthesis of the keyboard layout and Unicode fonts makes typing in Gujarati far more easier than with other types of fonts.

The challenge one faces typing in Gujarati is the variety of conjuncts that can be formed with “half” consonants and “full” consonants. There are too many characters to be mapped on a standard keyboard. Hence, the non-Unicode fonts make use of extended character code pages to map these extra characters. The dilemma is having to use character codes to type in these characters, making typing Gujarati a very slow process.

The solution to this is the Gujarati keyboard layout used for Unicode Gujarati fonts. Images 1 and 2 below show the default Gujarati keyboard layout included with Windows. This layout is for any Unicode font, not just Shruti font which comes preinstalled with Windows. I will explain how this keyboard layout makes typing Gujarati easy.

With Unicode fonts, typing a combination of characters results in automatic character substitution (and punctuation positioning) if they have a conjunct form. It’s an “intelligent” system that processes your input as you type and makes the appropriate substitution. These substitutions are programmed in lookup tables within the font itself. Here’s an example:

Typing NISHCHAY (નિશ્ચય) in Gujarati using a non-Unicode font would require using a character table to look up શ્ચ and then typing in its code. However, with a Unicode font, one would type:

When typing this combination, the font itself looks up the combination of શ and ચ to make the substitution automatically. All these keys are mapped on a regular keyboard. The ્ symbol is called the virama. It enables us to combine the sha and cha to make the shcha. The method work for all conjuncts. One only needs to know which consonants form the conjunct. Table 1 shows the common conjuncts and their component consonants.

Table 1: Common Conjuncts and their Components

Components	Conjunct	English	Components	Conjunct	English
ત + ર	ત્ર	tra	દ + ર	દ્ર	dra
દ + દ	દ્દ	dda	દ + વ	દ્વ	dva
દ + ધ	દ્ધ	ddha	દ + ય	દ્ય	dya
શ + વ	શ્વ	shva	શ + ર	શ્ર	shra
શ + ન	શ્ન	shna	સ + ત + ર	સ્ત્ર	stra
શ + ચ	શ્ચ	shcha	દ + મ	દ્મ	dma

The order of entry depends on the pronunciation. The one that is pronounced first will be typed first. In most cases, it’s apparent which one is pronounced first.

The ર, although a special case because it’s half form is a punctuation-like character, also follows the same rule. When half of ર is the first consonant, it is call a reph and looks like a swoosh: અર્પણ, સમર્થ. When ર is the second consonant, it’s a slant: બ્રહ્માંડ, ક્રિયા. Whether ર precedes or follows other consonants, the correct form is substituted automatically when the virama is used in between. For complex conjuncts, we follow the same rule. ઈર્ષ્યા requires two viramas.

In ઈર્ષ્યા, note the placement of the reph, despite that we typed ર first. In પ્રાર્થના, we have both forms of ર.
The following consonants have a different form of conjunct with ર: છ, જ, ટ, ઠ, ડ, ઢ, and દ. These X + ર conjuncts are formed with a caret-like character on the bottom: છ્ર, જ્ર, ટ્ર, ઠ્ર, ડ્ર, and ઢ્ર, while દ + ર is દ્ર.

In the example of નિશ્ચય, note that િ followed ન although its placement precedes ન. This is the sequence for all punctuations. The base is always typed first, then the accents. Usually, we see no more than 2 true punctuations, excluding the reph. When two punctuations are encountered, the ANUSVARA is the second punctuation. The anusvara is always typed after the other punctuations, if any. The following is an example of punctuation order:

Typing the anusvara before the U vowel give us a malformed word. It has to be placed after the U vowel.

As long as the developer of the font has created thorough substitution tables, you will obtain the desired result. If you obtain something undesired, it could have been an error in the tables.

As you can see, the concept of typing in Gujarati are sound and easy. However, the layout of the keys in this default keyboard layout is impractical for the English keyboard. The default Gujarati keyboard layout has the following disadvantages.

• The placement of consonants is not phonetic in the default keyboard layout. We have an inherent sense to think of K as ક, G as ગ, P as પ, and so forth. Hence, it would make sense to remap the default layout.
• The numerals in the default layout are actually Hindu-Arabic numerals in English (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0). One has to use Ctrl+Shift keys to access Gujarati numerals. This is awkward when one is typing Gujarati.

The first step to typing with Unicode fonts is to install Gujarati language support, which is explained in the Installation page. Visit this page if you do not know how to install Gujarati (or Hindi) language support in Windows-based systems.

You can type Gujarati in any Windows application that supports Gujarati input, such as Microsoft Office, Notepad, Wordpad, common Explorer windows such as Search box, Run box, Address bar (pretty much everywhere). To switch from English to Gujarati, press Alt+Shift button to toggle between the two languages. If you changed the default toggle keys, then use those keys you defined.

Note that if you have two applications running, such as Firefox and Notepad, switching the input language for the first application will not switch it for the second. Hence, you can type Gujarati in Firefox search box and continue typing English in Notepad. You have to switch the input language for each application individually. If you primarily want to use Gujarat, then you will have to change the default input language to Gujarati.

Here's how to add Gujarati keyboard layout to the language bar. You need to have completed Step 1 first.

1) Enable the Language Bar to be viewed in the taskbar. Right-click on the taskbar, select

Toolbars, then select Language Bar. If English is the current language on your computer, you'll see the EN icon for English on the taskbar.

2) Before going to the next step, make sure the program you want to type Gujarati in is focused. That Window must be active. For example, if you want to type Gujarati in Microsoft Word, make sure Word's windows is active. If no Window is active, that Gujarati will be enabled for the desktop, which means you'll be typing Gujarati in Explorer, dialog boxes such as Run, Search, etc.
3) Click on EN and you will see GU Gujarati (India). Click on GU Gujarati (India). If you only have one keyboard enabled in Region and Language settings, then you won't see the keyboard icon. If you have more than one layout enabled for Gujarati, you'll see a keyboard icon as shown in image below. This gives you the option to switch Keyboard layouts for that language, as shown below. I have the default keyboard called Gujarati

and my Gujarati Phonetic layouts enabled. I can choose between the two.

4) Next, start typing Gujarati in your favorite program. Below, you can see Notepad2 is active. The language icon in the taskbar shows GU because Gujarati is enable for that program. Programs such as Microsoft Office automatically recognize Unicode input. However, for text editors like Notepad2, you may have to enable Unicode character set. You can see in the Notepad2 window at the bottom, UTF-8 is the selected character set.

In the next pages, I will go over the rules of typing with Gujarati. Please note that the keyboard layout you use makes a difference in which keys are used to type certain characters. If you use the default Gujarati keyboard layout supplied with Windows, then please refer to the keyboard map found here. If you use my Gujarati Phonetic keyboard layout, please refer to the keyboard map found here.
