Thanks for all this info. A final question - why use "LLLA" instead of
ZHA?
So, how is Devanagari U0934 supposed to be pronounced?
Is it worth / possible to modify the description to
"[KANNADA | MALAYALAM | TELEGU | TAMIL] LETTER ZHA" ?
I know it does not make a difference from computing PoV, but people
with half baked knowledge are likely to get mislead, I think.
I hope I have not stirred up a hornet's nest.
