Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gucharmap
The most common way to say thankyou in Hindi is something like "shukriya". The correct spelling of this word is unusual, and I can not reproduce it with the character map. Moreover, * I could not find any electronic source that spells "shukriya" correctly * I could not generate the correct spelling with any software or websites I could find. I tried SCIM, http://www.iit.edu/~laksvij/language/hindi.html, Google translate, etc. They all either leave out this common word, or spell it incorrectly! * but, I am sure I have the correct spelling! Both the Oxford Hindi-English dictionary and Rupert Snell's "Beginner's Hindi" spell it the same way. Details: the "kri" in "shukriya" is spelled with ऋ adjoined with the "i" character. (Just like "ki" is ka (क) with -i to become कि.) This "kri" is shukriya is typically mispelled as कि. Usually, in the character map, I can select the main character (in this case ऋ) and then the -i character, and it forms the composite character. This works for क and all other consonants I tried. But it doesn't work for ऋ. It should!
