For a complete table of Sinhala characters and how to type them, click here.

In the following table you can see examples of how to type the different vowels with the consonant ක. After you have typed the ් mark, you cannot type a vowel to combine with that consonant. You can do this by typing a right after typing a consonant. If you type any of the independent vowels, they will not be combined with consonants.Īll the consonants naturally include the vowel sound අ, so if you want to produce a consonant with no vowel, you need to add the ් mark. Vowel parts that appear on the left of the consonant should be typed first, but all others should be typed after the consonant. When you type consonants and vowel parts, you should follow the same order that the parts are written on paper with. If you press Delete before (on the left of) a combined consonant and vowel, it will be erased completely, but if you press Backspace after a character, only the vowel part will be erased (even if you typed the vowel before the consonant). If you use the arrow keys to move through the text, you only need to press an arrow key once to move past each character. When you type a consonant and a vowel part, the computer will automatically combine them to make one character.

There are also numbers and punctuation marks.
