== Inventory ==
This system does not need the use of diacritics; instead, uses letter case distinction to indicate difference in vowel lengths and different groups of consonants. However, Mozhi has additional mappings to allow input using only the lowercase letters.

== Features ==
Since Mozhi is targeted for input, it has features tuned for that:<ref name=":0" />

* Multiple [[Latin]] letters or sequences for one [[Malayalam script|Malayalam]] character. Example: both '<nowiki/>''za''<nowiki/>' and '<nowiki/>''Sa''<nowiki/>' maps to '''ശ''<nowiki/>'.
* Archaic or scholarly characters are defined as refinement on contemporary characters. Example: '1#' generates native digit '൧', with '#' being the 'archaic character' operator to suffix.
* Ability to escape the Malayalam input by prefixing with '\'.
