Thank you!

Hmm, is there any difference between initial and medial glyphs for
U+0649 and U+06BA? Me thinks they should look the same. How do you
distinguish them?

But do you have evidence that a left-joining "nun-e ghunna" actually
exists in Urdu usage? I have never seen this and the fonts available
to me have no such glyphs. Test your fonts here:
