Most Indic-language sites and Commons appear to process characters such as ढ़, য়, ਖ਼, and ଡ଼—note that these are combined, i.e. not decomposed into a consonant and a nukta—appropriately when they are present in search queries, returning appropriate suggestions. (The bolding of the text within the search suggestions corresponding to what was typed does not appear, but that's not quite as troublesome of a matter.) Wikidata's search functionality does not handle these characters properly at all.
To see this for yourself, you can change your interface language to Bengali, copy the text "বিষয়শ্রেণী:" ("Category:" in Bengali) and paste it into Wikidata's search box, and see no category pages pop up. Change the "য়" in that word to "য + ়", after removing the two spaces and the plus from that quotation, and such category pages will appear.
