മുന്നറിയിപ്പുകളെടുക്കേണ്ടേ? സ്പൂഫിങ്ങിനുള്ള സാധ്യതയില്ലേ?

വിഷയം: [indic] Displaying indic vowel sign independant of a consonant

Once in a while I get the request to display vowel sign or anuswara
sign independent of any consonant. My understanding was that
<non-breaking-space, combining mark> will do the trick. Apparently, that
does not in Windows XP where I tried. The dotted circle is always there. Is
this a bug or lack of specs?

Also, there is need for writing indic combining marks independent without a
space before it. Please see this dictionary
scan<http://cibucj.googlepages.com/malayalam-standalone-vowel-sign.PNG>.
The highlighted cluster is <Malayalam U, en dash, Malayalam anuswara>.

Thanks,
Cibu

Typical way to do this is space+zwj+vowel-sign/anusvaram/visargam. We
have implemented this, and I believe its already part of the Unicode
standard.

Thanks Rajeev!

<zwj + vowel-sign/anusvaram/visargam> seems to be working in XP.
