    In this graphic, Aparajita is displaying the conjunct using a half form + full form +
    floating rakar sequence. Mangal is displaying the conjunct using a traditional vertical
    ligature form + floating rakar. Either is readable and grammatically correct, although I
    prefer the traditional ligature form.

    Yes.

    We say our understanding measures how things are,
    and likewise our perception, since that is how we
    find our way around, but in fact these do not measure.
    They are measured.   -- Aristotle, Metaphysics
