You should look into documentation for the input method. The answer
depends on what input method you use.

Obviously, no. There is a very good reason for it to be called the private use 
area.

Ofcourse, this depending on the rendering system you use. This needs

I fail to see what unmentionable requirement you have. Almost all
Indic languages have a very reasonable level of support in the Unicode

GNU/Linux distros.

Since you seem to have a very niche requirement, I suggest you hire a
consultant for it.
