Language-specific
---------------

Hindi:

nukta'd consonants for hindi/urdu-only (7)
can be represented as consonant + nukta, but NFC to these, so the consonant + nukta form is hard to see
क़ख़ग़ज़ड़ढ़फ़

I think you can get rid of the nukta combiner and rely on the text being NFC (or manually NFC nukta combinations)

If you need to get rid of more, removing ण, ञ, or ढ़ should be fine for most words.
