Repha

How is it possible to encode a "repha ra" in isolation?

The Unicode book says in section 9.1 that <consonant> + VIRAMA + ZWJ
displays a half form in isolation, as shown in figures 9-6 and 9-7. However,
rule r5a in the same section explains that RA + VIRAMA + ZWJ displays as
"eyelash-RA".

Is there any sequence that displays as a "repha ra" (called RAsup, in
section 9.1)?

I think that such a thing may be needed for, e.g., showing the glyph in
didactic texts.
