Hi, After some googlezing: reading [1] ཀ is the consonant KA. IIUC, consonants can be stacked; in this case, KA becomes the sujoined consonant ྐ (AKA ྐ).
reading [2] in addition, there can be a character shaping mechanism, probably as Arabic. Unfortunately, FOP supports neither character stacking nor character shaping. Note that some contributors are working on implementing Arabic (witch needs character shaping and right-to-left mode) (see [3]). That said, any help is welcome to extend FOP support for not Latin scripts.
