Malayalam rendering issue for the conjunct: യ്വ and ഴ്വ

Malayalam conjunct യ്വ (U0d2f + U0d4d + U0d35) is not rendering properly 
in my android tablet. There are words using this conjunct in Malayalam. See

Hi Baiju,

Thanks for reporting the issue - especially seemingly problematic ones like 
this.

Noto is attempting reformed orthography for Malayalam. So it cannot have the 
glyph you have recommended. To get the equivalent sequence in reformed 
orthography you would need to use ZWNJ after the Virama. That is, the sequences 
will be:

YA, VIRAMA, ZWNJ, VA
LLLA, VIRAMA, ZWNJ, VA
