I can't seem to type a "ไม้โท" symbol above the word "นำ". Typically when the input editor refuses to type something, it is because that combination doesn't exists in the Thai language. Usually, I have misread the tone mark or something and I correct it and move on. However, I have verified that "นำ" (with a "ไม้โท" above it) meaning "water" is the correct spelling. I tried Notepad and Wordpad and they won't let me type it either. Does this happen to anyone else

I don't know if I have Glenn's typewriter on my laptop, so I didn't try it there. I find it ironic that to report this "problem" I have to use the "ไม้โท" tone mark

This problem happens if you are not using the '-ahm' on the 'e' key of your keyboard, but rather the separate Y-k combination to form the vocalic.

Use the 'e' key and you should have no problem.

Maybe it's to do with the order you're pressing the keys in, i.e.
If it's น - นำ then you can't then add a ไม้โท on to make น้ำ.
But like น - น้ - น้ำ it seems to work fine.

Oh yeah, now I remember. I think that's an exception to the general rule that you type a post-fixed vowel before any tone mark.

Good thing to point out.

I must have been in a daze. It was the order that I was typing it. If I type the "ไม่โท" tonemark first, it works fine. ขอบคุณมากครับ !
