sAma-svara rendering in various devices

[विश्वासो वासुकिजः (Vishvas Vasuki)]

namaste,

I see on my android whatsapp that the following message won't render properly:
पु꣡नश् श्र꣡वणेन त꣡थै꣡वोक्त꣡म् इ꣡ति भाति। एवं꣡ च तृतीयपादे꣡ हियोजनं꣡ छन्दो-दोषं꣡ निवारयति -

But it looks fine on firefox - whatsapp web.

The below screenshots are from suhas's Android and Mac (not sure which is which)

I've reported a bug to whatsapp via  settings - help - contact us.

Can you please check on your device/ software combinations and update this thread? (I suppose at-least it looks fine on desktop email?)

Also if you discover simple resolutions (eg. font installation) which will solve the problem on the respective devices, please let me know as well.

This is nuts but if you have a better shot at getting through to whatsapp support, go for it:

They're worse than useless it seems. I give up after this last message:

Hi,  
 
Thanks for your message.

You can also send us a screen recording. To do so, you may need to download a third-party app that can record the contents of your screen.

situation remains the same it seems 

Text was कृतं᳡, कृतं᳕ and देवा꣡ . 

this was iPhone 15 plus, and also not rendered on iPad Pro.

Makes me wonder what symbol should I use for jAtya-svarita besides the regular svarita in kAthaka style for udAtta so that people don't get tofus from plain text messages/ statuses. Just misuse something like ᳚ I suppose?

Decided to misuse निःश्वास for udAtta. 

Is there someone for whom तं᳓ त्वा गीर्भि᳓र् गि᳓र्वणसं ते᳙ does not render well?

[Shreevatsa R]

Yes, it's broken for me on Chrome in Mac (appears to be using Kohinoor Devanagari). But appears fine on Android.

(Basically font support may be poor for some characters, so best not to rely on text rendering properly if it contains such characters, unless you're using PDF, or a webpage where you provide the webfonts.)
