Pardon me if I sound dumb, but looking at page 305 (9.1 R6) the TTHA (U+0920)
that's shown already has a halant/virama. Next we add RA (U+0930) and we get
TTHA (U+0920) + RA_sub/vattu. In the fonts I use this gets displayed with a
more dedicated glyph for the vattu.
For example, in the Mangal font on Windows this gets properly replaced by one
glyph displaying the vattu.
So where/how do you see two disconnected strokes?
