Tomaz, did you test 20.04 branch or master? This should have been fixed with the commits for bug 401094.
Comment 3 tcanabrava 2020-08-03 18:53:29 UTC 
Tested in master, broken.

Hindi test on current master
Comment 6 ninjalj 2021-06-16 16:58:55 UTC 
Works on current master. 

Tomaz, apparently zsh doesn't like U+94D DEVANAGARI SIGN VIRAMA. I see the same issue as you with zsh, but not with bash.
Comment 7 Rishabh 2021-06-24 18:16:22 UTC 
Ninjalj, it seems like the issue was fixed, not sure which version. regarding the issue with Virama in zsh there is a simple solution, refer this  https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/598440/zsh-indic-fonts-support-rendering-issue-which-is-working-fine-on-bash
