० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९ and 0–9 both occur in Hindi print. The danda । can end a sentence; contemporary Hindi also uses ordinary punctuation. A new font can change a familiar word’s shape without changing its spelling.
Use the optional Devanagari InScript keyboard or the on-screen tiles. Enter a consonant before its vowel mark, and use ् between joined consonants. The dotted circle on teaching cards is never typed.
