[XeTeX] how to add a character from another font

[Zdenek Wagner]

I do not know sanskrit and do not know how it is written in tamil (I do not
even know the tamil script) but if I understand it well, there is 1:1
transliteration from devanagari to tamil but avagraha is missing. In such a
case you can either use ucharclasses to display acagraha from a visually
compatible devanagari font or (if allowed by the font license) create a
copy of a tamil font and insert the avagraha glyph (eg by fontforge). And,
of course, you can send a feature request to the font developer.
