So, what would be the most sensible default rendering for യ + ് + വ ?

1. യ + VA symbol
2. യ + ് + വ (placed horizontally)
3. യ + വ (in stacked form)

Since 3rd form is a traditional typography, let's ignore that.  Then
only, two choices remains.
Out of these two, which one is more predominant in usage ? How do we find that ?
Or is it the right way to think to find the choice for rendering ?
