Conjuncts with YA are difficult and there are problems to make them
work with all shapers. The glyphs are present in the Velthuis fonts.
Steve White sent me many samples when developing the Devanagari block
and it took him a long time before tha YA conjuncts were right. There
is even a difference between usage in Hindi and Sanskrit thus it is
quite complex.
