How to use multi Characters in one button key?

I'm not entirely sure I understand your request, but for example you could do what you are asking in the source of your keyboard with:

+ [K_W] > U+1082 U+103A   c ႂ်

Further information on keyboard rules is available in https://help.keyman.com/developer/language/ If I haven't understood you correctly, can you give a bit more detail in your query?

Dear mcdurdin,

I have tried like your mention but I still have the same problem. To make you clear what I want, please look at the photo below.

I want to combine two characters for output in one word.

I have got the error message when I build the keyboard. Please help.

Best regards,
STP

Okay, I understand what you are trying to do. In this situation, you need to use a rule in the "Layout" tab ("Code" view) to output more than one character from a single key.

I would rename the code from U+1082 U+103A to T_1082_103A and then add the following rule into the code view, within the group(main) section:

+ [T_1082_103A] > U+1082 U+103A
