It depends on being able to have <U+1012 DA, U+1039 VIRAMA, U+101D WA>. This combination is intended for use in Pali and Sanskrit when the shape of Burmese <U+1012, U+103D MEDIAL WA> is unacceptable - see http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2006/06077-n3043r-myanmar.pdf for the justification for adding U+103D as an *alternative* to <1039, 101D>. Now, UTN#11, which is explicitly not endorsed by the UTC, does not allow the sequence <U+1012, U+1039, U+101D> and the Padauk font does not support it. I can't find anything in the Myanmar rendering description https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/typography/script-development/myanmar that indicates that that renderer might reject the combination. Consequently, you may be able to find an ordinary font that will render the sequence <U+1012, U+1039, U+101D, U+103B MEDIAL YA> to give you an acceptable rendering of 'dvya' that will be analysed as having the right spelling. I can't see any way of helping you to get a renderable unambiguous Myanmar script spelling for 'trya' - unless you're prepared to supply alternative renderers. (I presume Zawgyi fonts are not an acceptable alternative.) Richard.
