Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I did have a quick look at the Sanskrit section but the examples given
didn't cover these sequences. I now see that the order of diacritics is
present in the beginning.

//Is it the case the representation is  ဒျွ ဒျြ matches the visual output
you were expecting?//

Yup. The exactly match what I was expecting.

Cheers,

Vinodh Rajan
