Devangari?
Syllabe + virama + ZWJ --> consonant.
Note that the ZWJ is _after_ the virama.
Interesting. Is this actually valid at the end of a string? Would
<syllable, virama, ZWJ> as an isolated string be rendered differently
from <syllable, virama>? But it strikes me that this arrangement,
however sensible within its own writing system, is a distortion of the
regular rules for ZWJ.
