Indic Matra Category - Top And Right

Top And Right is a classification used for certain vowel signs in South Asian scripts, indicating that the matra (a dependent vowel mark) attaches to the base consonant’s top and right sides simultaneously, often forming an L‑shaped or diagonal stroke. This value describes the typical positioning and orientation of the mark relative to the consonant, which helps in rendering and analyzing complex text shaping. It contrasts with other placements like top, bottom, or left, and is crucial for correctly displaying stacked or conjunct forms in scripts such as Devanagari, Bengali, or Tamil, where the mark’s geometry affects ligature formation and cursor movement.
