 * 6) The alphabet 'আ' can be typed in two ways: one is to type 'অ' and then 'া' ,i.e. 'D' and then 'e'; other is by typing 'E' alone.
 * 7) The alphabet 'ঃ' is found in '_' key, i.e. 'Shift' and then '-' key in English keyboard.

 * 'khya': 'ka' + 'halant' + 'Sha'
 * (ক্ষ) =   (ক)  +     (্)  +    (ষ)

 * 'kla' : 'ka' + 'halant' + 'la'
