how this chillu is then missing
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?
Thanks Mr Tom
I tried your suggestion .
it is not workign ie not producing the chillu as pointed by you
my issued is correctly understood by you
the QWERTY malaylam is avaialble from apple in the text and langauge
how this chillu is then missing
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

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.
Could you use the camera icon here to upload a picture of what the missing characters look like?

I think this is made by typing the F key twice after the consonant. Chillu n = nff = ൻ
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.
