That could be caused by a bad app or a bad font. Here is what I get typing "nff" with TextEdit and the font Malayalam Sangam. Do you not see the same thing?
I got solution for this
OS maverick supports Malayalam key boards
to get chillaksharam first
type the letter say ന
then go to key D where itwill apper as ന്
then strike onc again ന് ie D key itwill give ൻ
similarly one can get all chillaksharangal easily following same procedure
thanks to mavericks malayalam typing is easy 🙂😁 in MAC

Are you saying that typing "nff" with the Malayalam Qwerty layout active does not work for you, but typing "vdd" with the Malayalam layout does work? But these are exactly the same, just different arrangements of the keys. For me they produce exactly the same thing: ൻ
Hi Ajaykumar
Your solution is working with me too for "chills".
I am using a MacBook Pro - OSX 10.8.5 and Indesign CS 5.5 (Middle East) version.
How can we type "Kottaksharam"? like "KKA", "NDA" etc.
Is there any way we can type using "Panchari" fonts in Indesign?
Used this font when I was working in Kerala. It was a licensed version with dongle and the keyboard layout is very familiar to me.
It will be really helpful, if you can help me on this.
thanks
For questions regarding InDesign, you might want to search/ask at the Adobe forums, since I think they use their own font system for such scripts.

In the internationally standard Unicode system, conjunct characters are typed by putting the virama between the two characters. The virama is the D key in the Apple Malayalam layout and the F key in the Malayalam Qwerty layout. With Malayalam Qwerty
KKA is kfk or ക്ക
NDA is nfd or ന്ദ
Please try the following combination to get chillu aksharam on Mac INSCRIPT keyboard.
Type the base consonant e.g. ṇa, na, ra, la, ḷa, ka followed by the virama (chandrakala) twice in succession. OS X would transform the base letter to a chillu aksharam.
PS: Not sure why the response can only be in English! I was not able to add my response in Malayalam.
