Could it be a variant half-form of U+CB5 KANNARA LETTER VA, so that the composed letter would be a missing LETTER KVA? Or could it beanimport from U+D28 MALAYALAM LETTER NA, so that the combination shown would be a missing KANNARA LETTER KNA (which interestingly matches the name of the Kannara script when the first small a sound is not pronounced) ?

Forget my questions here: it seems they are already proposed and accepted by Unicode one year ago, and in final stage for standardization:
0CF1..0CF2 KANNADA SIGN JIHVAMULIYA, KANNADA SIGN UPADHMANIYA
0CE2..0CE3 KANNADA VOWEL SIGN VOCALIC L, KANNADA VOWEL SIGN VOCALIC LL
