I would not really feel for it, there are several halants, each for their
respective
scripts, and they are probably not intended to be used out of their context.
I wonder what a Gujarati halant would do in a context of Devanagari
characters.
Act as a halant, and do the right thing, show up with a dotted circle to
indicate
that it has no context (my preference) or show up as a box, indicating no
glyph
available.
