Nna + Aa in contemporary Tamil can be represented as individual glyphs: Nna
Aa. If the font contains the traditional form -- which is a ligature, it can
be displayed using the Glyph Substitution (GSUB) layout table of OpenType.

Hello,
How can I compose the Tamil character n.aa?
Unicode seems to suggest using the combination: 0BA3+0BBE (NNA+AA). However
the resulting representation of the digraph is not the one found in
litterature. There are other characters too in the Tamil alphabet that
cannot be represented.
Best regards,
Erik.
