Excel Formatting

Select the cells and choose "Nirmala UI" or "Segoe UI".

Layout Tip

Telugu conjuncts have subscript forms. Increase row height from 15pt to 20pt so bottom marks are not clipped.

File Encoding

Always save as "CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited) (*.csv)" so Telugu characters are not converted to question marks.
