This transliteration tool uses a phonetic-based transliteration system rather than a fixed, one-to-one character mapping.

As an illustration, entering 'a' may generate the independent vowel 'அ' in isolation, but following a consonant such as 'k', it merges to create 'க' ('ka').

That said, when you want to input a specific Tamil character, refer to the guide above for standard Roman-to-Tamil character mappings. Should it fail to generate the expected letter, simply hit backspace or click the word to reveal available character options. When your desired character isn't the primary suggestion, use the Down Arrow key followed by Space/Enter to choose the appropriate alternative.
