Here I will add that if it is the case that rendering engines will not accept the above requested change, then there may be a number of other ways of achieving the same result, such as to use a code which is a normal consonant and gives behavior similar to VA/BA. Only in the font the shape will be like BA and not the character itself. And there may be other options as well, which those more familiar with the technical aspects of this work may suggest.
