Now the thing to notice here is that, unlike the original Bijoy
keyboard, Hashanta has been pressed before the two 'Ka's. The
original Bijoy keyboard requires that 'Hashanta' be pressed in the
midst of the two 'Ka's, for example:</P

> Zukta Ka = 'Ka'(j)+'Hashanta'(g)+'Ka'(j) </P
><P

are a few minor ones that have been listed below: </P
