I visited Microsoft's keyboard site at: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/keyboards.asp and couldn't find any mappings for ZWJ or ZWNJ on the Hindi keyboard either. I know that ZWJ is used in Devanagari to form explicit half-consonants. What would ZWNJ do? -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
