I know this rule :) But avagraha doesn't stand for any sound, it only
marks elision (or contraction) and can be omitted, that's why it can't
bear anuswâra, which would explain why fonts don't have any rule to
place an anuswâra over an avagraha. If you have John Smith's
electronic edition of the Mahâbhârata, you will easily find several
occurences of the particular case you're dealing with, for instance:
01058049a अथ ते सर्वशोंऽशैः
स्वैर्गन्तुं भूमिं
कृतक्षणाः

Bonjour.
Should not the anuswâra be over the o in such a case?
No, I don't think so: it a sandhi rule: one word ended by aḥ gives o
if the following word begins by a voiced letter, in case of this
letter is a "a", it is dropped and replace by an avagraha so:
छेदः अंशः becomes चेदो ऽंशः and it
will not be correct if the anusvara
would be on the "o".
