I've been trying to find out whether a simple indic conjunct such as

0915: क DEVANAGARI LETTER KA
094D: ् DEVANAGARI SIGN VIRAMA
0915: क DEVANAGARI LETTER KA
093E: ा DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN AA

is a single "default grapheme cluster" or not.

I've seen text that says that it is, but I'm really struggling to figure out how the standard tells you that. I've looked at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Grapheme_Cluster_Boundaries and the http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/auxiliary/GraphemeBreakProperty.txt file. I can't even find explanations of the format of the GraphemeBreakProperty.txt file.

Can someone help?
