Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus that comprises a controller for coupling with a display and a tactile user input device. The controller is configured so as to respond to input from the tactile user input device, where the input at least partially superimposes a first displayed character and a second displayed character, to consult a set of linguistic rules to determine if the superimposed first and second characters are appropriate candidate characters for forming a conjunct character. The controller is further configured, if the determination is affirmative, to replace the displayed first and second characters with a displayed conjunct character, without requiring user entry of a third, special character (e.g., a Halant). Also disclosed are corresponding methods and computer programs. Fig.2
