Where the font came from, and when

Issue

By going through the glyph set, the font supports only the contextual forms, consonant clusters etc. which are mentioned in the Unicode proposal. No other sources ( primary sources like manuscripts, primers etc.) seem to consulted/researched. Thus the font is unusable like most other complex historic and minority Indic scripts' Noto fonts. page 5 of the Unicode proposal L2/11-175R mentions some contextual/special forms for vowel sign UU, but they are just examples not the only forms. Observed form: image Correct form from Tirhuta primers. image image

Character data

Build https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts/blob/master/phaseIII_only/unhinted/otf/NotoSansTirhuta/NotoSansTirhuta-Regular.otf (and corresponding TTF file) fixes the issue.
