IMHO, ZWNJ is used more frequently to write RA-JA-PHOLA than ZWJ. This is
because of the Windows XP issue mentioned in the blog post by SDG. So as they
do in Bijoy and Unijoy layout I would suggest
[ `] => ZWNJ
[~] => ZWJ

Apparently ZWJ is the recommended way to write Ra-e Jafala - see my
blog post at
