Notes:

  • Northern Ojibwe speakers use either  or ᐤ as the /w/ final; both symbols have been mapped to the keyboard, at the <q> and <w> keys respectively. A vowel typed after either of these finals makes the mid-dot, so both <q-a> or <w-a> produces ᐗ.
  • There are three potential y-finals: ᐊ, ᐊᐞ, ᐊ. They have been mapped to the y-, j-, and f- keys respectively.
  • There are two versions of /l/ and /r/ in Northern Ojibwe. The first is identical to Western Cree, where the non-syllabic characters ᓬ and ᕒ are used. The second places a superscripted symbol above an n-series syllabic, such as ᓇ /la/, and ᓇ /ra/. To get the superscripts, use the Shift key with <l> or <r>, so that SHIFT-l-i produces ᓂ.

In the previous notes, the hyphen is used to separate keystrokes.  So (k-a) is "k" followed by "a", not "k", "-", "a".
