This Malayalam virtual keyboard mirrors the layout used on physical Malayalam keyboards, whose top row begins with ൌൈാീൂബ. Its 46 character keys reach the 74 letters of the Malayalam script (U+0D00–U+0D7F) straight from the browser, with nothing to install.
The layout reaches 85 characters that an ordinary Latin keyboard does not carry: ഁ ം ഃ അ ആ ഇ ഈ ഉ ഊ ഋ എ ഏ ഐ ഒ ഓ ഔ ക ഖ ഗ ഘ ങ ച ഛ ജ ഝ ഞ ട ഠ ഡ ഢ ണ ത ഥ ദ ധ ന ഩ പ ഫ ബ.
18 further characters come from the AltGr key (Alt on mobile): ₹ ൧ ൨ ൩ ൪ ൫ ൬ ൭ ൮ ൯ ൦ ൄ ൢ ർ ൺ ൻ ൽ ൾ.

How to type in Malayalam
Click the on-screen keys or type on your physical keyboard — both write into the same text area.
Shift shows the second layer of every key: capitals and the characters printed at the top right.
AltGr (Alt on mobile) shows the third layer, the characters printed at the bottom right.
The Copy button puts the whole text on the clipboard, ready to paste into an email, a document or a form.
The Google, YouTube and ChatGPT buttons run a search with the text you typed, without retyping it.
Key reference table
Each row is one physical key: the base character, the one produced with Shift, then the one produced with AltGr.
