I can't compare with Germany, but I wouldn't say that it's common.
I could think of it as a gimmick, but I would be inclined to say that
it is more common to use cyrillic letter

In the better known Indic scripts, are there ever cases of conjuncts formed
with independent vowels and a following consonant?
Not in the better-known ones, except possibly in esoteric manuscripts. One
finds weird stacking behaviour in Tibetan

Now, suppose a VC conjunct were to occur, as described above; "al", for
example. Would it seem preferable to treat the vowel like a consonant, and
encode as
A + virama + L
or to treat the consonant, and
I am investigating using the Unicode standard to store and forward
Chinese characters in a mainframe (IMS) environment.
Basically we want to receive Chinese into the system, encode into
UNICODE, send it to the mainframe and store on the IMSDB. At a later
stage, then decode back into Chinese for
Unicode is always serialized in a UTF: UTF-8, UTF-16*, or UTF-32*. The
definition of each of these is invariant across systems: in UTF-8 an 'a' is
always stored as 0x61. There is a special UTF for use on EBCDIC systems.
Check out the technical reports and FAQs on www.unicode.org.

Within the IMS database, any form of data can be stored. Beware, however,
that certain parameters, such as the transaction name, must always be in
EBCDIC. While the database itself can handle Unicode in any format, you
have to be careful about how you work with that data - the IMS Transaction

Of course, in regular Nagari, one ought to encode A +

This is actually done? I got the impression from reading chapter 9 in

No such thing as Ldep in our model, so you'd have to rely on A + virama +
L.
Well, if a script had such behaviour, one possibility could be to propose a

Doug Felt here confirmed that this is a bug in the implementation section.
While it does not affect the conformance of the main algorithm, it would
affect people trying to use that optimization strategy. (we here don't use
that strategy, by the way).
In Bengali Vowel_A can form a conjunct with letter_Ya (Ya taking its zophola form.)
It has been suggested that this should be encoded as Vowel_A ZWJ Ya
I believe that the series V ZWJ C is much more logical than V Virama C as the
semantics of virama are to suppress the vowel.

Are thes four consonants always joined in this way when following an

My understanding is the latter. Thus, I don't think obligatory ligation
would work.
