The right side positioning looks suspicious to me, as it is contrary to other nukta positioning, not only in Gurmukhi but also other north Indian scripts: there is a general preference towards the left side. >
John, This reminds us of the error in Tamil Anusvara sign, U+0B82, in the code chart. Tamil anusvara sign is used extensively for transliteration purposes, see the document L2/12-051 both in print and in the web, there are many more examples. While 0b82 will *not* be deprecated as it is in current and past use, eventually its glyph needs to change to be in sync with neighboring Dravidian scripts' anusvara glyph. N.
