Few Devanagari fonts render it the correct way, & I am sharing screenshots.

Kindly consider fixing this.

Furthermore, do consider adding support for all the Devanagari characters supported by the latest version of Unicode.

I notice that Tiro Devanagari Hindi and Tiro Devanagari Sanskrit (by @tiroj) render these differently; the Hindi version renders as Noto currently does (ra with a subscript), and the Sanskrit version renders as you are asking for (vocalic l/r with reph). John is usually quite thoughtful and I think this distinction was probably made for a reason.

I wonder if we want to use the reph rendering only when the language is set to Sanskrit.

I strongly recommend using the shaping with reph for any generic Devanagari font. The Tiro Hindi font only provides full shaping for Hindi character sequences, so not for the long vocalic vowels. It does implement the reph shaping for रृ.

Thanks broski i'm glad you addressed :)

I urge you to do the same with the Bangla, Gujarati, Odia, & other Siddham derived Brahmic scripts as well, i.e. reph with vocalic r & l, since they all share the same features, & especially while writing in the Sanskrit language.

I genuinely believe it's not really time consuming, so i am hoping for the changes soon 😊

Also, i want to know if there any way to write reph? Since र + ् + [ZWJ] = र्‍

It doesn't work for other scripts either
