"That man is sitting on the chair."

Translation: वह आदमी कुर्सी पर बैठा है।

[Owen-Benjambavan]

Why don't you need a 'rahi' to indicate a present progressive verb 'is sitting'?

[Ando71]

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

[AshaRawat09]

Abhi bhi baita hi hai

[ArturKrivc1]

is that more accurate to say " That man sits on the chair"?

[RaajkumarMS]

That would be 'bait rahi hai' I believe. It is special case for sitting and standing.

How can I type कुर्सी? I can't figure out a key combination that gives me that symbol.

कुर्सी

कु र सी all together :)

वह आदमी कूरसी पर (बेट राह) है... Sound good?

[Zerenei]

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.
