# Start Using Armenian Mnemonic

A font must be installed to support this keyboard. Windows includes a number of fonts which support the Armenian script.

Visit GitHub.com/dotland/mnemonic-kb-hy for extensive documentation on using the keyboard.

This keyboard uses eighteen dead-keys, such as: `T` `t` `S` `s` `D` `d` `G` `g` `K` `k` `Z` `z` `C` `c` `'``"` `\` and `/`, where `T` is `Shift`+`t` or just `t` with `Caps Lock` turned on. Press one of these dead keys and then another key to produce the desired output. For instance, press `T` and then the `Space` to get Թ; press `T` and then `s` to get Ծ etc. Please see the tables below for a complete combination.
