Notes:

  • A-final Ojibwe writers use ᐤ as the /w/ final. A vowel typed after this makes the mid-dot, so <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. Combining superscripts are not available in the Unicode-only keyboard.

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