Sorry, I need to revise this a bit, as I just noticed my question is partially answered: there is a table in section 9.5 that shows U+0B5F YYA being displayed as ya-phalaa. So, my revised question, then, is whether a sequence like < …, virama, U+0B2F ORIYA LETTER YA > should *also* be displayed as ya-phalaa or not.

Subject: Oriya: representation of ya-phalaa

 

I’m what the encoded representation of the ya-phalaa in Oriya script is supposed to be. I’m referring to the typeform

 

 

In Unicode, this is considered a presentation form of ya, but the problem is that there are two ya characters: U+0B2F ORIYA LETTER YA

 

 

and U+0B5F ORIYA LETTER YYA

 

 

So, my question is which of these is the character underlying the ya-phalaa: the first or the second? Or would it be the first for some words, and the second for other words?

 

I suppose the answer to this can be found in ISCII – does anybody know what ISCII did in this regard?
