Special Telugu Characters

Telugu has unique characters that require special typing techniques:

• ః (Visarga) → Used in Sanskrit words.
• ళ (ḷa) → Used in words like పండితుడు (panditudu).

• Halant (్) is used to remove the vowel sound from a consonant.
• Visarga (ః) and Anusvara (ం) are used in Sanskrit-origin words.
