A workaround until some kind of satisfactory adjustment is made might be
to simply use COLON for VISARGA. Or...
VISARGA ⇒ U+02F8 MODIFIER LETTER RAISED COLON
ANUSVARA⇒U+02D9 DOT ABOVE
...as long as the font(s) included both those characters.
य॑ यॆ॑
य॑ं -- anusvara last
यॆ॑ं -- "
य॑: -- colon last
यॆ॑: -- "
य॑˸ -- raised colon modifier last
यॆ॑˸ -- "
य॑˙ -- spacing dot above last
यॆ॑˙ -- "
