I don't think that Unicode requires that a non spacing mark *has* to be placed on something in order to be displayable. However, some fonts may chose to represent a stand-alone non spacing mark as floating on some default glyph, for either technological or esthetic reasons. In any case, the problem of repha in isolation is an encoding one, not one of fonts. The problem is that there currently is no way of coding such a thing. The biggest consequence of this is that ISCII cannot round-trip converted to Unicode. _ Marco
