    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.
