[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I am attaching the Org file and a screenshot of how it is rendered in Emacs and gEdit. 

Note that gEdit renders Grantha script with no extra action on my part. But Emacs won't render the Grantha script unless I explicitly set the font to be used. 


The Org file attached here is also availabe at https://github.com/casouri/valign/issues/27

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 29

u+11315, 𑌕

renders fine for me:

Are you still seeing this issue in Emacs 29?

I had added Grantha support to Emacs in bug#55782, so I don't think this
problem should appear anymore.

Ah, right.  I'm closing this bug report, then.
