This podcast looks at the fourth Hindi consonant on the second line: झ

How does it look?

From the top horizontal bar, a line comes down just a little and then makes an S with a little loop on the end.  There is a little line from the curve that comes out and touches a full length verticle bar.

How to type it?

If you are using a US English keyboard with the standard Devanagari/Hindi layout, then you would press “P”

(see “How to type in Hindi” for more information about setting up your computer.)
