*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,

If I select the keyboard layout to be in-guru from the kxkb applet in the panel, the keyboard is missing some characters,
i.e. I cannot type them in a document. For example, the characters, hex code: 0A71, is missing (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurmukhi_script for the character tables). There are other some other characters too which I
have tried and are missing, and probably some others too which I haven't had the oppertunity to try.

With these missing characters, it is not possible to type a document properly in that language. I have had to resort to
copying and pasting the missing characters from some websites.

thanks,
->HS

--- Begin Message --- I just discovered that the character example I had given with appeared not to be included in Unicode IN-GURU keyboard, it can be entered with a combination of keys. For exampe:
I can enter(the following Unicode Gurmukhi) ਅ + ੰ + ਮ + ੍ + ਰ + ਿ + ਤ + ੁ to get "ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ". The combination ਮ + ੍ + ਰ was the one I just discovered. So it is possible to get these kind of combos in this keybaord layout after all. Sorry for all the trouble.
