Lesson 16 is Advanced tier: numerals and the punctuation real exam passages actually use alongside plain prose -- dates, counts, and the daṇḍa (।) sentence-ending mark you first saw in Lesson 13.

A correction to a common assumption, checked directly against Microsoft's own published InScript keyboard driver data: the number row does NOT map to Devanagari numerals (० १ २ ३...) on this layout -- neither the base nor the Shift state produces them; the Shift state instead gives quick-access conjunct ligatures (क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र, and others). This matches how Hindi is actually typed in practice: standard 0-9 digits are used for numbers even within Devanagari prose, including in real exam passages -- so that's exactly what this lesson teaches, not a simplification.

You'll type four short, realistic sentences mixing digits with the vocabulary from Lessons 14 and 15: a date, an exam question-count, a time range, and an instruction referencing a question range -- exactly the kind of mixed number-plus-text line that trips up typists who've only ever practiced pure-letter passages.
