Thaana, U+0780-U+07BF, can also be found in Code2000, FreeSerif, TITUS  
Cyberbit.

The cause is that your code is faulty:

> \newfontinstance\dhivehifontA{Mv Elaaf Normal}
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> \newcommand{\dhiA}[1]{{\newfontinstance\dhivehifontA #1}}
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By reusing a name in this manner it's like creating an endless loop.  
This as substitute of the second line might work better:

	\DeclareRobustCommand{\dhiA}[1]{{\dhivehifontA #1}}

Presumingly it was late and you did not realise that you were copying  
and pasting too much text...
