Indic Syllabic Category - Consonant With Stacker

Consonant With Stacker is a special classification used for certain consonants in Indic scripts, primarily those that form conjuncts by stacking below the preceding consonant, as seen in languages like Devanagari or Bengali. This value applies to characters that, in their standalone form, already include an inherent stacked or subscript appearance, typically representing a consonant cluster where the lower element is inherent to the glyph itself rather than being formed through a virama or explicit combining mark. Such consonants often act as the base or final component in a conjunct, and their classification helps text shaping engines correctly render them without adding extra stacking marks, ensuring proper visual formation when combined with other characters in a syllable. The value specifically distinguishes these inherently stacked forms from regular consonants that require explicit conjunct formation mechanisms.
