From the quick bit of research I've done, it seems that khya is currently represented by the sequence U+0995 U+09CD U+09B7 (BENGALI LETTER KA, BENGALI SIGN VIRAMA, BENGALI LETTER SSA). As such, Unicode's policy would be not to encode khya as a separate letter unless a very compelling case is made to disunify it—and the argument that it's a single letter in Assamese isn't strong enough.
However, U+0995 U+09CD U+09B7 can be made a named sequence, which means that one name would be available to identify the sequence as if it were any ordinary character.
