How do you type a retroflex "r", as in the Hindi word for "girl"?
लड़की girl

I am using a phonetic keyboard in Windows IME (Input Method Editor).
I see ड on the capital D key.
I see ई on the capital E key.
I just don't know how to make the dot under the letter.
I think there may be other "retroflex" letters for which this dot would be needed.press the keys '[' ']' to write ड़
