The user is to see the character on the screen and press the numeric key indicated. This allows support of many languages on the same keypad conveniently. You will notice a 3x4 matrix on your mobile screen. Characters are arranged on screen in this 3x4 matrix and these characters are mapped through your Numeric keypad on your mobile phone. There are many types of characters in Indian languages Vyanjan Varna (consonants) shown in Brown, swar varnas (independent vowels) shown in Blue, Matras (dependent vowels) shown in Black. And the chandrakala/virama which is used for joining characters alone shown in Red. Each of these character types come up automatically based on the context of what you are writing. There are Two simple rules of typing:- 1. See the character on screen and press the corresponding numeric key on mobile phone. 2. If the character you want is not on the screen, then press the Next List Button (The large Select button in the middle).
