is the screenshot we're talking about. The half ṣ (the glyph for 0937 minus
the vertical stroke) represents 0937+094d. The glyph of 091f is there in
full. Next is the virama, the diagonal stroke through the ट - representing
the succeeding 094d (see sequence in my original message above). Now we have
the other diagonal stroke, the following r, representing 0930. *There is no
other virama*. Of course we then have the combining vowel 0940.
