Thanks! Is there anything for the undatta, anudatta (unicode 951 952, pg 3
of http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0900.pdf )
[For those working with the vedas this is a very commonly occurring letter ]

No I dont know.  Its just that the rest of itrans is a natural way to use
an English (Roman) keyboard to input devanagari so I thought the pipe would
naturally become the danda.

Is there any reference on understanding how to write input-methods in
emacs?

Thanks again
