Tamil Typing - A Step-by-Step Guide to Mastering the Keyboard PART 4: Typing Special Tamil Symbols and Script Rules

Unique Tamil Symbols

Tamil has several special symbols that you may need to type:

• ௹ (Rupee Symbol) – Used for currency notation.
• ௗ (Au Length Marker) – Used for extended vowel sounds.
• ‘ஃ’ (Aytam) – A rare letter used in classical Tamil.

Important Tamil Typing Rules

• Tamil script does not have separate letters for aspirated consonants (e.g., "Ka" vs. "Kha").
• Vowel markers always follow the consonant (Example: "க + ீ = கீ").
• No distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters in Tamil typing.

By following these rules, you can type Tamil with grammatical accuracy.
