@bgliyanage need your clarifications for the intended instances of this positioning.

I hereby confirm that traditionally our writing style is to write rephaya between conjunct glyphs. Here are the examples of ධර්මය, වර්ණනා, අනර්ඝ, and most importantly වීර්ය of which rephaya is not above the yamsaya but between ya and yamsaya.

Here is another important point we must concern. When the second glyph of a conjunct has vowel markers like ispilla, then rephaya comes above the first glyph. Here are the examples of නිර්මිත and චක්‍රවති.
