In this graphic, Aparajita is displaying the conjunct using a half form + full form +
floating rakar sequence. Mangal is displaying the conjunct using a traditional vertical
ligature form + floating rakar. Either is readable and grammatically correct, although I
prefer the traditional ligature form.
