[XeTeX] Devanagari ASCII to Unicode mapping

0x61 (hex) in ASCII (lower case 'a' for the Latin alphabet),

Before unicode, devanagari fonts used the ASCII range (legacy fonts) -
however AFAIK there is no standardization in the mapping, though various
families of fonts had similar mapping.

see http://hindi-fonts.com/tools for converters from different mappings to
unicode.

So,  ASCII to Unicode mapping for Devanagari will change based on the font
used.
