Please see this image listing various cases of vowel sign repeating: http://thottingal.in/images/repeated-vowels-ml.png Split matras expand on both sides as illustrated. It might be a related case- After writing numbers, just like we write "16th" in English, in Malayalam, it is written as 16ാം , number followed by ാ, ം. Currently this cannot be written without dotted circle, but ideally this should render without dotted circle. Thanks Santhosh
