zero width joiner
Explanation:
To write "prashn" in the form we generally write, that is, writting "श्" instead of "श्र" you need to put a zero width joiner in between "half sh" and "na".

Let me know if you need info on how to put a zero width joiner.

Word 2000 (या बाद के संस्करणों में) \'श्\' और \'न\' के बीच Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) रखने के लिए इन अक्षरों के बीच में यूनिकोड 200D टाइप करे। उसके बाद कर्सर को D के ठीक बाद में रखकर Alt+X दबाएँ। ऐसा करने से \'श्\' और \'न\' आपस में नहीं जुड़ेंगे और वे \'प्रश्न\' की बजाए \"प्रश्žन\" बनाएँगे। और किसी एप्लीकेशन में उपयोग करने के लिए आप \"प्रश्žन\" को यहाँ से कॉपी कर पेस्ट कर सकते हैं।

Hope this is helpful.

Well, This was a test for the browser. While above statement displayed perfectly in MS Word with ZWJ hidden, it displayed on this page as a \'z\' with a strange symbol on that. I hope you may still be able to use this for Word and similar application.

Explanation:
there are different type of unicode machine exists. from my system,i have used h#Mdv.
actually every unicode has a link key which joins a letter with other.every unicode has its own keymap.
you have to find out that key from the keymap of that very unicode.a little bit of grammer is also important.
i write in this way: प्रश्न = प्+ र्+ श्+ न्
