Why don't you need a 'rahi' to indicate a present progressive verb 'is sitting'?
I read somewhere else that in Hindi 'sitting' and 'standing' do not need rahi/reha/rehe to indicate a present progressive verb, they are always assumed to be that already
Right - रही would be used if they're in the process of going to sit down. But usually when we say someone is sitting we're referring to the state not the action
Noo Artur that will go in present simple tense - signifies the quality- that man sits on the chair ...if you didnt understand brother you may message me on insta - akashallen
How can I type कुर्सी? I can't figure out a key combination that gives me that symbol.

I found on the MacBook Hindi-QWERTY keyboard, that after the r for र, then f for ्, it needs a backspace to remove the underscore in order to then type s and Shift I, and have it show up as र्सी. Without the backspace to delete the underscore, the final result would include र ् स, which can be very frustrating!!!
If you mean बैठ रहा then no, बैठा sounds more natural. Looks a little weird compared to the normal way of conjugating verbs, but it's correct.

"Baith raha" will denote that the action of sitting is currently in progress or is happening, while "baitha" indicates that he is already sitting
