Currently , with devanagari-itran, you must type ".."
(double periods) to insert "।".

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 ]

As I'm not the author of
this input method, I don't if ".." is the standard way to
input "।". Could you show me a source that tells "|" is the
standard way for "।" in ITRANS?

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
