In the case of Microsoft's Mangal, which is an OpenType font, the mapping (including contextual mapping) from Unicode characters to glyphs in the font is contained in lookup tables built into the font.
Many glyphs in this font do not have a direct one to one correspondence with characters but and are accessible by applying the features and lookups in the font.
