If the sharada consistenly made of 2 bytes, then it could be marked in the mapping, and use substring instead of charAt. If not, then we need to find if there is matching string in the mapping to the beginning of the examined string, and cut always from the beginning the found character
If you try to convert sharada to anything, it is broken. Prbobably the reason is that, the sharada characters are represented not only on one byte, but on 2 or more.https://github.com/indic-transliteration/common_maps/blob/master/brahmic/sharada.toml
I don't know if there is a sharada map which works with single bytes? if not, then the matchings should be changed from
charAtto some more sophisticated (and problematic) solution: https://github.com/indic-transliteration/sanscript.js/blob/master/src/sanscript.js#L375If the sharada consistenly made of 2 bytes, then it could be marked in the mapping, and use substring instead of charAt.
