I was looking though Maha Sena's textbook on Tai Tham for Pali, and I
noticed that he had a Lao script Pali section that made use of a nukta
that seems to me to be indistinguishable from U+0EBA LAO SIGN PALI
VIRAMA. Is it therefore in order to use that character for this nukta,
just as U+0E3A THAI CHARACTER PHINTHU functions as a nukta?
Now the nukta and the vowels below slightly interact, with the nukta on
the left and the vowel below in the right. As U+0EBA has ccc=9 and the
Lao vowels below have ccc=118, this seems to be fine. (of course, I
may have to wait to find a font that arranges them correctly.)
I attach an example of the word "viññūhīti".
