You use full consonant plus virama (094D;DEVANAGARI SIGN VIRAMA) to
get a half consonant or ligature. PATNI will be spelled

PA + TA + virama + NA + vowel sign long I

Anusvara is NOT a "half m" but an independent modifier sign
(0902;DEVANAGARI SIGN ANUSVARA). HAMSA is spelled

HA + anusvara + SA

Read the chapter on Indian scripts in the Unicode standard (available
as PDF file from http://www.unicode.org/).
