The traditional Remington layout — popularised by Nepali typewriters and the Preeti font — is the standard for official documents and Lok Sewa Aayog typing exams. Phonetic (romanised) layouts are also popular for casual typing.
Hold Shift: the shifted layer of most consonant keys produces the half form. For example Shift+S gives क्, Shift+G gives न्. The | key gives ्र and the { key places reph (र्) after the cluster.
Type the l key BEFORE the consonant — on a typewriter the ि glyph is physically placed before the letter. For example कि is typed as l then s.
