Desired rendering of dot reph and comparison of Bengali syllable structure
@Pravin/Behdad: I'm not much knowledgeable about but isn't the feature tag for
reph characters spelt as "reph" or "rphf" or something?
@Behdad: Basically if you treat this 0D4E character equivalent to the
cluster-initial RA + VIRAMA sequences of other Indic scripts, especially
Bengali, I think it would be sufficient. Why Bengali? Because it also has two
part vowel signs ো ৌ like Malayalam ൊ ോ ൌ and the reph also. But Bengali
doesn't seem to have post-base VA unlike Malayalam so you may have to look out
for that.
FWIW I have attached a document (ODT and PDF) showing the desired rendering of
the reph (using the e-Malayalam OTC font from the "Indolipi" package [link
above] which hack-renders the Malayalam RA + Virama combination as the reph)
and the equivalent Bengali sequences in two standard Bengali fonts.
