Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I will check the points as you said, as far as the
font issues are considered. We all know how jna,shra and ksh are formed in
UNICODE and ISCII, but the point I wanted to make was, if we have to sort /
search / process the data in Devanagari script, then we have

Hello,
There are few discrepancies in Indic FAQ. Though it was reported earlier by
Andy White, I see they still have place there in the FAQ. I also clarified

The [new] INV character in Unicode can also be used for displaying dependent
vowel matras without dotted circle.

I wouldn't go so far. The fact that clusters belong together is something
that can be handled by the software. Collation and other data processing
needs to deal with such issues already for many other languages. See

I had thought that the argument for including KSSA as a seperate
