Question 1Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the standard Devanagari touch-typing method, the row of letter keys on which the eight fingers rest between strokes is known as the:

  1. Function row
  2. Home row Correct answer.
  3. Number row
  4. Bottom row

Explanation

Touch typing is built around a fixed base position called the home row, where the eight fingers rest between strokes. Every other letter key is reached from this row and the finger returns to it immediately after striking, which is what allows a typist to work without looking at the keyboard.

Question 2Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

While keying a passage on a Devanagari keyboard, which finger is normally used to press the space bar?

  1. Right little finger
  2. Right index finger
  3. Thumb Correct answer.
  4. Left little finger

Explanation

The thumbs are the only fingers that are not assigned to letter keys, so the space bar is struck with a thumb, normally the right thumb. The remaining fingers stay on their home keys, so spacing never disturbs the typing position.

Question 3Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

Two keys of the home row carry a small raised bar so that a typist can locate the resting position without looking. These keys are:

  1. The two keys beside the space bar
  2. The two keys under the little fingers
  3. The two keys under the index fingers Correct answer.
  4. The two keys under the middle fingers

Explanation

The keys lying under the two index fingers carry a tactile bump. A typist places the index fingers on these bumps and the other fingers fall naturally into place beside them, so the whole home position is recovered by touch alone.

Question 4Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

You have to type the upper (shifted) character printed on a key that is struck by a finger of the left hand. Which key should you hold down?

  1. The left Shift key, pressed with the left thumb
  2. The right Shift key, pressed with the right thumb
  3. The right Shift key, pressed with the right little finger Correct answer.
  4. The left Shift key, pressed with the left little finger

Explanation

The rule of touch typing is that Shift is always held by the little finger of the hand opposite to the one that strikes the character key. The Shift is held down, the character key is struck, and the little finger releases at once, so neither hand leaves its own half of the keyboard.

Question 5Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

The standard InScript Devanagari keyboard arranges its characters mainly on which principle?

  1. The order of the traditional Devanagari alphabet, the varnamala Correct answer.
  2. Matching each character to the Roman letter printed on the same key
  3. The number of strokes needed to write each character
  4. Frequency of use of each character in modern Hindi prose

Explanation

InScript follows the traditional order of the Devanagari varnamala, laying out vowels, their matras and the consonants in alphabetical sequence across the rows. The arrangement is linguistic, so a typist learns the Devanagari sequence rather than hunting for English sound equivalents.

Question 6Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the InScript layout the character क is produced by the key that also carries the Roman letter K. Which finger should strike it?

  1. Right index finger
  2. Right middle finger Correct answer.
  3. Right ring finger
  4. Left little finger

Explanation

Under the standard finger assignment the K key belongs to the middle finger of the right hand, which also owns the keys immediately above and below it. Using the assigned finger keeps the hand anchored and makes the reach automatic.

Question 7Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

How is the Devanagari digit ५ produced on the InScript layout?

  1. Strike the 5 key without Shift
  2. Hold Ctrl and strike the 5 key
  3. Hold Alt and strike the 5 key
  4. Hold Shift and strike the 5 key Correct answer.

Explanation

In InScript the number row gives the ordinary digits 1 to 0 in the unshifted position, and the same keys give the Devanagari digits १ to ० when Shift is held. The digit ५ therefore needs Shift together with the key marked 5.

Question 8Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the InScript layout the vowel sign (matra) ा shares the key marked E. Which finger strikes that key?

  1. Left ring finger
  2. Left middle finger Correct answer.
  3. Right middle finger
  4. Left index finger

Explanation

The E key lies in the upper row of the left-hand block and is assigned to the left middle finger, which reaches up from its home key and returns at once. The left hand thus deals with ा while the right hand continues with the consonants.

Question 9Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

While keying the syllable कि in InScript, in what order are the keys pressed?

  1. The ि matra key first, then क
  2. Both keys together with the Shift key
  3. The ि matra key, then the space bar, then क
  4. क first, then the ि matra key Correct answer.

Explanation

InScript is a logical layout, so the consonant is keyed first and the ि matra key is pressed after it, even though the matra is displayed to the left of the consonant on screen. The rendering software reorders the matra visually, and the typist simply follows the phonetic order of the syllable.

Question 10Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

On the standard InScript keyboard, holding Shift while striking the key that gives क produces which character?

  1. ग
  2. ख Correct answer.
  3. घ
  4. च

Explanation

InScript pairs successive consonants of the varnamala on one key: the unshifted position gives the first consonant of a pair and the shifted position gives the next one in the series. That is why क stands unshifted with ख above it, and ग with घ on another key.

Question 11Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

On the standard InScript Devanagari layout, the home-row key marked L carries the consonant त. Which finger strikes that key in touch typing?

  1. Right index finger
  2. Right middle finger
  3. Right little finger
  4. Right ring finger Correct answer.

Explanation

The right-hand home keys J, K, L and the semicolon are assigned to the index, middle, ring and little fingers respectively, so L belongs to the ring finger. After each reach the finger returns to L and does not slide to a neighbouring key.

Question 12Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the InScript layout the virama (halant) ् is printed on the key marked D. Which finger should strike that key?

  1. Left index finger
  2. Left little finger
  3. Left ring finger
  4. Left middle finger Correct answer.

Explanation

On the left hand the home keys A, S, D and F belong to the little, ring, middle and index fingers in that order. The key D therefore falls under the left middle finger, which also reaches up to E and down to C.

Question 13Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

On the home row of the InScript layout, which Devanagari character is produced by the key that is struck by the right little finger (the semicolon key)?

  1. र
  2. च Correct answer.
  3. क
  4. त

Explanation

The right little finger rests on the semicolon key, and in InScript that key carries the consonant च; its shifted position gives छ. The neighbouring home keys carry त on L, क on K and र on J.

Question 14Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

The consonant म appears on the bottom-row key marked C in InScript. Which finger is used to strike that key?

  1. Left middle finger Correct answer.
  2. Left index finger
  3. Right middle finger
  4. Left ring finger

Explanation

In the standard finger assignment the left middle finger owns the column containing E, D and C. Because म is placed on C, the left middle finger reaches down from its home key D to type it and then returns to D.

Question 15Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

While keying a Devanagari number in InScript, which finger strikes the key that produces the digit ३?

  1. Left middle finger Correct answer.
  2. Right middle finger
  3. Left index finger
  4. Left ring finger

Explanation

InScript places the Devanagari digits १ to ० on the number-row keys 1 to 0 without requiring Shift. The key 3 lies in the left-middle column, so the left middle finger reaches up from D to strike it and then returns home.

Question 16Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

A typist needs the shifted character ख, which is on the K key. Which Shift key should be held, and with which finger?

  1. Right Shift with the right little finger
  2. Right Shift with the right ring finger
  3. Left Shift with the left ring finger
  4. Left Shift with the left little finger Correct answer.

Explanation

The Shift key is pressed by the little finger of the hand opposite to the one striking the character key, so both hands are not pulled to the same side. K is a right-hand key, so the left little finger holds Left Shift while the right middle finger strikes K.

Question 17Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In InScript, which key sequence is used to type the conjunct क्त?

  1. क, ्, त Correct answer.
  2. त, ्, क
  3. क, त, ्
  4. ्, क, त

Explanation

A conjunct is built by typing the first consonant, then the virama ्, then the second consonant. The halant suppresses the inherent vowel of क and joins it to त, so the order is क–्–त.

Question 18Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

To type क़ (ka with a nukta) in InScript, which key is pressed immediately after क?

  1. The [ key, which carries ड़
  2. The ] key, which carries ़ Correct answer.
  3. The ' key, which carries ट
  4. The ; key, which carries च

Explanation

InScript places the combining nukta sign ़ on the right bracket key, ], which is struck by the right little finger. Typing it after a consonant adds the dot below, so क followed by ़ gives क़.

Question 19Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

Which key sequence produces the reph form र्म, as seen in कर्म, on the InScript layout?

  1. म, ्, र
  2. र, ्, म Correct answer.
  3. ्, र, म
  4. र, म, ्

Explanation

In InScript the reph is generated by typing र, then the virama ्, and then the consonant over which the reph should sit. The rendering engine converts this sequence into the reph mark placed above म.

Question 20Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

The InScript key marked [ carries ड़. Which finger strikes it, and which character does the same key give when Shift is held?

  1. Right middle finger; ढ़
  2. Right ring finger; ढ़
  3. Right little finger; ढ
  4. Right little finger; ढ़ Correct answer.

Explanation

The bracket keys sit in the right little finger's column, and in InScript the unshifted [ gives ड़ while its shifted position gives ढ़. The right little finger handles both, and Left Shift is pressed with the opposite hand for the second.

Question 21Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In standard Devanagari touch typing, the two Shift keys are operated by which fingers?

  1. the index fingers
  2. the middle fingers
  3. the little fingers Correct answer.
  4. the ring fingers

Explanation

Touch typing assigns the outermost keys on each side to the little finger, and the Shift keys sit at the outer edge of the main block. The little finger of the hand not striking the character holds Shift while the other hand types the shifted character. This keeps the stronger fingers on the letter keys.

Question 22Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the InScript layout, the key marked R carries the vowel sign ी. Which finger is assigned to that key?

  1. the left index finger Correct answer.
  2. the left middle finger
  3. the left little finger
  4. the left ring finger

Explanation

On the upper letter row the left hand covers Q, W, E, R and T; R is the fourth key and is struck by the left index finger. The left index also covers F, V, G and B in the standard touch-typing assignment. Returning the finger to F keeps the hand anchored.

Question 23Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

The InScript key marked U produces ह. Which finger should strike it?

  1. the right ring finger
  2. the right little finger
  3. the right middle finger
  4. the right index finger Correct answer.

Explanation

U lies on the upper row on the right-hand side, and the right index finger is responsible for Y, U, H, J, N and M. The right index also rests on J in the home position. Using it for U avoids moving the whole hand.

Question 24Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the InScript layout, the key marked O produces द. Which finger strikes that key?

  1. the right index finger
  2. the right ring finger Correct answer.
  3. the right little finger
  4. the right middle finger

Explanation

On the upper letter row the right-hand fingers are assigned in order: index to Y and U, middle to I, ring to O, and little to P. Therefore O, which gives द, is struck by the right ring finger. The right ring finger also handles L and the full stop key.

Question 25Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the InScript layout, the key marked M produces स. Which finger is used to strike it?

  1. the right ring finger
  2. the right middle finger
  3. the right little finger
  4. the right index finger Correct answer.

Explanation

The bottom-row letters on the right side are reached by the right index finger, which covers N and M in addition to Y, U, H and J. M is therefore struck by the right index while the hand stays near the J home key. The right middle finger belongs to K and the comma key.

Question 26Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

To type the syllable कौ in InScript, which order of characters is correct?

  1. Shift+क first, then ौ
  2. क first, then ा, then ु
  3. क first, then ौ Correct answer.
  4. ौ first, then क

Explanation

InScript follows the logical order of Devanagari: the consonant is typed before its dependent vowel sign, even when the sign is printed to the left or right in the final syllable. Thus क is keyed, then the sign ौ. The displayed form कौ results from that sequence.

Question 27Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In InScript, which finger strikes the number-row key that produces the Devanagari digit ०?

  1. the right little finger Correct answer.
  2. the right middle finger
  3. the left little finger
  4. the right ring finger

Explanation

The digit 0 is at the far right of the number row, and in standard touch typing that key belongs to the right little finger. In the InScript Devanagari layout the same key produces ०. The right little finger also operates the P, semicolon and slash keys.

Question 28Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

Which key sequence produces the conjunct क्र in InScript?

  1. K, then J, then D
  2. K, then D, then J Correct answer.
  3. J, then D, then K
  4. K, then S, then J

Explanation

A conjunct is built by typing the first consonant, then the virama (halant), then the next consonant. In InScript क is on K, the halant is on D, and र is on J, so K–D–J gives क्र. The halant must come between the two consonants, not after both.

Question 29Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

To type the conjunct क्ष in InScript, what must be pressed after क and the halant?

  1. N alone
  2. Shift+N Correct answer.
  3. Shift+M
  4. M alone

Explanation

The second consonant of क्ष is ष, which is the shifted character on the N key in the InScript layout. After typing क and the halant, hold Shift and press N to insert ष. The unshifted N key gives ल, not ष.

Question 30Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

Which key sequence types the word हिन्दी in InScript?

  1. U, V, F, D, O, R
  2. U, F, V, D, O, R Correct answer.
  3. U, F, V, O, D, R
  4. U, F, V, D, R, O

Explanation

हिन्दी is built as ह + ि + न + ् + द + ी in logical order. In InScript these characters are on U, F, V, D, O and R respectively, so the sequence is U–F–V–D–O–R. The i-matra follows ह even though it is displayed before it.

Question 31Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the InScript Devanagari layout, the home-row key marked F produces the vowel sign ि. Which finger is assigned to that key?

  1. left middle finger
  2. right ring finger
  3. right index finger
  4. left index finger Correct answer.

Explanation

On the standard InScript home row, F is the home key for the left index finger and carries the vowel sign ि. The left middle finger operates D (्), while the right index finger operates J (र).

Question 32Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

The vowel sign े is printed on the home-row key marked S in InScript. Which finger should strike that key?

  1. right ring finger
  2. left middle finger
  3. left ring finger Correct answer.
  4. left little finger

Explanation

The home-row key S is assigned to the left ring finger in the InScript finger chart. Its unshifted character is the vowel sign े; A is struck by the left little finger and D by the left middle finger.

Question 33Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In InScript, the top-row key marked E produces the vowel sign ा. Which finger is used to strike that key?

  1. left middle finger Correct answer.
  2. left ring finger
  3. left index finger
  4. right middle finger

Explanation

The top-row key E carries the vowel sign ा and is struck by the left middle finger. The left ring finger is on W, the left index finger on R and T, and the right middle finger on I.

Question 34Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

To type the syllable क्या in InScript, which sequence of characters must be keyed?

  1. क, ्, ा, य
  2. क, ्, य, ा Correct answer.
  3. क, ा, ्, य
  4. क, य, ्, ा

Explanation

क्या is written as क plus halant ्, then य, then the vowel sign ा. The halant must come immediately after क to form the consonant cluster; reversing the order gives a different or invalid syllable.

Question 35Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

The anusvara ं is printed on the bottom-row key marked X in InScript. Which finger strikes that key?

  1. left middle finger
  2. left ring finger Correct answer.
  3. left little finger
  4. left index finger

Explanation

The bottom-row key X carries the anusvara ं and is assigned to the left ring finger. On that row, Z is left little, C is left middle, and V is left index.

Question 36Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In the InScript layout, the home-row keys F and G carry ि and ु respectively. Which single finger is assigned to both of these keys?

  1. right index finger
  2. left index finger Correct answer.
  3. left ring finger
  4. left middle finger

Explanation

In the standard touch-typing assignment used with InScript, the left index finger covers both F and G on the home row. Those keys carry ि and ु, while the left middle finger covers D.

Question 37Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

The consonant प is on the home-row key marked H in InScript. Which finger should strike it?

  1. right middle finger
  2. right ring finger
  3. left index finger
  4. right index finger Correct answer.

Explanation

The home-row key H carries प and is the right-index home key in InScript. The right middle finger operates K (क), and the right ring finger operates L (त).

Question 38Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

To type the conjunct द्व as in द्वार in InScript, which key sequence is required?

  1. द, व, ्
  2. द, ्, व Correct answer.
  3. द, ्, न
  4. द, ्, ब

Explanation

द्व is a consonant cluster made of द, halant ्, and व, in that order. In InScript the halant is on D, so the sequence is द, ्, व; inserting another consonant changes the cluster.

Question 39Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

The candrabindu ँ is produced in InScript by holding Shift and pressing the key that normally gives the anusvara ं. Which finger strikes that base key?

  1. right ring finger
  2. left ring finger Correct answer.
  3. left middle finger
  4. left little finger

Explanation

The base key is X, which gives the anusvara ं unshifted and the candrabindu ँ when Shift is held. X lies on the bottom row and is struck by the left ring finger.

Question 40Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning

In InScript, the consonant ल is on the bottom-row key marked N. Which finger is used to strike that key?

  1. left index finger
  2. right index finger Correct answer.
  3. right ring finger
  4. right middle finger

Explanation

The bottom-row key N carries ल and belongs to the right index finger in the InScript chart. The right middle finger handles the comma key, and the right ring finger handles the period key.

Question 41Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

हिंदी टंकण में 'कि' लिखते समय इ-मात्रा (ि) का स्थान कहाँ होता है?

  1. क के बाद
  2. क के ऊपर
  3. क के नीचे
  4. क से पहले Correct answer.

Explanation

देवनागरी में इ-मात्रा (ि) व्यंजन के बाईं ओर दिखती है, इसलिए पारंपरिक हिंदी टंकण में भी उसे व्यंजन से पहले रखा जाता है। 'कि' का वास्तविक वर्ण-क्रम क् + ि है, पर छपाई और स्क्रीन पर ि बाईं ओर दिखता है। इसी कारण टंकक को पहले ि और फिर क कुंजी दबानी होती है।

Question 42Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'हलंत' या 'शून्य' चिह्न (्) टंकण में किस कार्य के लिए प्रयोग होता है?

  1. स्वर को अनुनासिक बनाने के लिए
  2. व्यंजन में स्वर जोड़ने के लिए
  3. व्यंजन में नुक़्ता जोड़ने के लिए
  4. व्यंजन को स्वररहित करने के लिए Correct answer.

Explanation

हलंत या शून्य चिह्न (्) व्यंजन के नीचे लगाकर उसका अंतर्निहित 'अ' स्वर हटाता है। इससे व्यंजन स्वररहित होकर अगले व्यंजन से जुड़ सकता है, जैसे क् + ष = क्ष। इसलिए हलंत संयुक्ताक्षर बनाने और शब्द के अंत में व्यंजन के स्वररहित रूप दोनों में काम आता है।

Question 43Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'हँसी' शब्द में 'ह' के बाद कौन सा चिह्न प्रयुक्त होता है?

  1. अनुस्वार (ं)
  2. हलंत (्)
  3. विसर्ग (ः)
  4. चंद्रबिंदु (ँ) Correct answer.

Explanation

चंद्रबिंदु (ँ) अनुनासिक ध्वनि का चिह्न है और 'हँसी' में ह के बाद यही लगता है। अनुस्वार (ं) का प्रयोग 'हंस' जैसे शब्दों में होता है, जहाँ अनुनासिकता का रूप भिन्न होता है। विसर्ग (ः) और हलंत (्) के अपने अलग कार्य हैं, इसलिए 'हँसी' में वे नहीं आते।

Question 44Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'कर्म' टंकण करते समय रेफ (र्) किस व्यंजन के ऊपर दिखाई देता है?

  1. क
  2. र्म के बाद आने वाले स्वर
  3. म Correct answer.
  4. र

Explanation

रेफ र् का वह रूप है जो अगले व्यंजन के ऊपर लगता है; 'कर्म' में र् + म मिलकर र्म बनाते हैं। इसलिए रेफ म (मकार) के ऊपर दिखता है, क के ऊपर नहीं। टंकण में पहले र् वाला भाग और फिर म लिखा जाता है, पर दृश्य रूप में रेफ म के ऊपर बैठता है।

Question 45Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'क्ष' युक्ताक्षर टंकित करने के लिए कुंजी क्रम कौन सा सही है?

  1. क, हलंत, ष Correct answer.
  2. ष, हलंत, क
  3. हलंत, क, ष
  4. क, ष, हलंत

Explanation

'क्ष' क + हलंत + ष के क्रम से बनता है, क्योंकि पहले क का स्वर हटाकर उसे ष से जोड़ना होता है। यह क् + ष का संयुक्त रूप है और इसमें बीच का हलंत दिखाई नहीं देता। यदि हलंत बाद में लगाया जाए तो कुंजी क्रम गलत हो जाता है और अभीष्ट युक्ताक्षर नहीं बनता।

Question 46Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'ज्ञ' टंकित करते समय 'ज' और 'ञ' के बीच कौन सा चिह्न लगता है?

  1. चंद्रबिंदु
  2. विसर्ग
  3. हलंत Correct answer.
  4. अनुस्वार

Explanation

'ज्ञ' ज् + ञ के योग से बनता है, इसलिए ज और ञ के बीच हलंत आवश्यक है। टंकण में ज, हलंत, ञ का क्रम अपनाया जाता है; बीच में अनुस्वार या चंद्रबिंदु लगाने से 'ज्ञ' नहीं बनता। यह संयुक्ताक्षर का सामान्य नियम है कि पहले व्यंजन का स्वर हलंत से हटाया जाता है।

Question 47Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'ज़रूरत' में 'ज़' के नीचे लगने वाला चिह्न कौन सा है?

  1. हलंत
  2. नुक़्ता Correct answer.
  3. अनुस्वार
  4. चंद्रबिंदु

Explanation

नुक़्ता (़) व्यंजन के नीचे लगकर उसका उच्चारण बदलता है; ज + नुक़्ता = ज़। 'ज़रूरत' में ज़ के नीचे यही चिह्न होता है। हलंत, अनुस्वार और चंद्रबिंदु के कार्य भिन्न हैं, इसलिए वे ज़ का रूप नहीं बनाते।

Question 48Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'कॉलेज' में 'कॉ' के लिए कौन सी मात्रा प्रयुक्त होती है?

  1. ा (आ-मात्रा)
  2. ॉ (ऑ-मात्रा) Correct answer.
  3. ो (ओ-मात्रा)
  4. ौ (औ-मात्रा)

Explanation

'कॉलेज' में क के बाद ऑ-ध्वनि की मात्रा (ॉ) लगती है, जिससे 'कॉ' बनता है। आ-मात्रा (ा) से 'का', ओ-मात्रा (ो) से 'को' और औ-मात्रा (ौ) से 'कौ' बनता है। इसलिए ऑ-ध्वनि के लिए केवल ॉ का प्रयोग सही है।

Question 49Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'ट्रैफिक' में 'ट्रै' बनाने का सही टंकण क्रम क्या है?

  1. ट, ै, हलंत, र
  2. ट, हलंत, ै, र
  3. ट, र, हलंत, ै
  4. ट, हलंत, र, ै Correct answer.

Explanation

'ट्रै' में पहले ट और र का संयुक्त रूप ट्र बनता है, फिर उस पर ै मात्रा लगती है। ट्र = ट + हलंत + र, इसलिए पूरा क्रम ट, हलंत, र, ै है। हलंत को र के बाद लगाने या ै को बीच में रखने से अभीष्ट संयुक्ताक्षर नहीं बनता।

Question 50Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms

'दुःख' में 'ु' के बाद आने वाला चिह्न कौन सा है?

  1. अनुस्वार
  2. चंद्रबिंदु
  3. विसर्ग Correct answer.
  4. हलंत

Explanation

'दुःख' में ु के बाद विसर्ग (ः) आता है, जो हल्के 'ह' जैसी ध्वनि का संकेत देता है। अनुस्वार (ं) और चंद्रबिंदु (ँ) अनुनासिकता के चिह्न हैं, जबकि हलंत व्यंजन को स्वररहित करता है। इसलिए दुःख में विसर्ग का ही प्रयोग होता है।
