Hi :)

I'm trying to type a couple sentences in Hindi Script and am having
great sucess...except for one character. I am unable to find "KSH"
anywhere on my keyboard.

I've checked online and found that it is a compound character.
My question is: What are the Unicode numbers for the characters that
result in "KSH" ?

Thanks very much!
David

ps. This is same "KSH" found as the first letter in "Kshatriya" for
example.

I hope the script you're talking about is Devanagari - English <-->
Latin, Hindi <--> Devanagari

"KSH" is 'ka' + halant + 'sha' [sha as in shatkon, not as in shalgam]
The unicode numbers are:
क्ष

What editor are you using and what os+version?

Thank you Alok,
(Yes, Devanagari :)

I was able to find the answer here at:
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2book/ch09.pdf

...and with the kind help of another, found the correct unicode
sequence as: U+0915 + U+094D(Virama)+ U+0937
