I am trying to > see what unicode says about yukhtakshar. if not. then we need to bypass it I'm no expert, but I've been implementing it in come code I've been writing and using Yudit to cross check and it works, so here's the short of it: Juktakhor in unicode is represented as individual consonants separated by 0x09cd (hashanta). So ka + ra (also known as ka-y-raphola) is 0x0985 + 0x09cd + 0x09b0 danteshha + ta (has in hasta) 0x09b8 + 0x09cd + 0x09a4 If you have to use a "real" hashanta you use something called a zero width non joiner 0x200c so khondo-tha is actually tha + hashonto + zwnj 0x09a4 0x09cd 0x200c Similarly reph is basically a conjunct with ra as the first character ir reph + ka = ra + ka 0x09b0 + 0x09cd + 0x0995 > all. and save it for the pango module. whenever a perticular 2 charecters > apears a third charecter is displayed which is the yukhtakshar.
