Digging further . . .
I found out that the problem appearas:
1. NOT to be with LiveCode.
2. NOT to be with MacOS.
Because using a font other than my one works well.
So?
What hidden aspects of my Devawriter.ttf font are gumming up the works?

How does one do this "programmatically"?
Here's the (admittedly odd scenario):
Unicode behaves inconsistently in various marginal cases with
Devanagari script,
and what happens is that the first time one sends this:
put numToCodePoint(7418) after the selectedText
one ends up with a useless square.
But if one does this:
put numToCodePoint(7418) after the selectedText
put numToCodePoint(7418) after the selectedText
one ends up with the useless square PRECEDED by the target glyph.
So, the 'clever' work around might be to do this:
put numToCodePoint(7418) after the selectedText
put numToCodePoint(7418) after the selectedText
followed by deleting the useless square
However doing this:
put numToCodePoint(65288) after the selectedText
results in another useless square.
