Thank you Maheshji, for your interest and helpful suggestions and tips. The problem of achieving (ৰ)-halant (BA-halant) was solved around a week ago i.e. ৰ-halant is now available. And that was quite helpful. Now ৰ written independently works fine. And combined with vowel maatraas also it works fine. The problem comes when consonant conjuncts are needed. That is the main problem which is now needing to be solved; as I understand, the solution seems to lie in adding rules into the font for how ৰ is to form conjuncts with other consonants. Whether the way ৰ needs to be used for typing Samskritam using Bengali lipi, requires a new code point and if so where, are some of the questions that need to be addressed...
