Wrong rendering of the Devanagari syllable "krya"
editI do not know where to report this, maybe someone will do that in my name, but the Devanagari ligature for the syllable krya is rendered wrong in the Wiki editor. The image is missing among the Wikimedia Commons images of ligatures and in the picture of the most common ligatures by M. Monier-Williams, as well as in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari_conjuncts#Tri-_and_tetra-consonantal_conjuncts list in Wikipedia} - I do not know why, as this is a not so rare conjunct, see: Ulrich Stiehl: Conjunct Consonants in Sanskrit, Norderstedt 2017, →ISBN, p. 11, 54, 84, 86, 102 (the book does not give any pictures of the Devanagari ligatures discussed, however, like all Sanskrit books by U. Stiehl it is in Latin transliteration). I cannot find any picture of it so I will describe it. It should look like क्य kya but with the left "leg" (oblique stroke) added for -r-, like in क्र kra, but not separated into two parts, like that: क्र्य - kr-ya, with a virama ( ् ) added after (i.e. below) क्र kra (thus making the क्र् kr-) and then य ya added as if a separate syllable. I have tried to make it in several ways but could not get the proper result. NoychoH (talk) 18:21, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- I have found an Internet picture containing it: selected ligatures out of the list of ALL ligatures available to "Sanskrit 2003" font. The image is from the website of Ulrich Stiehl again, as I can see! Thank you, Uli!. The ligature in question can be found in the second row from the top, the 12th character from the left (or the 7th one from the right). NoychoH (talk) 20:07, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
