<br>
I would like to combine glyphs using xelatex : the glyphs are: U+0947 <br>
and U+093D if I write \symbol{"0947}\symbol{"093D}, I get the two glyphs <br>
side by side, the first one with a dotted circle below.<br>
<br>
What I want is the first one combined with the second one ie. the first <br>
one above the second one.<br>
<br>
How can I get this result?<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
