It seems reasonable that one should need extra persuasion to take the

So, you're saying that all of these should be encoded as C + virama +
BA?

I've seen elsewhere that you've described this as a ligature involving
O, but are you sure it's that? Note that the same shape is used for NYA
and NNA (e.g. conjuncts for NN.NNA and SS.NNA).

I could be convinced of that; but if people in India aren't convinced of
that, the boat may not float.
