If you are trying to convert old .txt or .doc files made with Akruti 7.0 to Unicode, you must understand these horrors:
Akruti 7.0 is a version of the Akruti font/keyboard software suite that provides input methods for several Indian scripts, including Odia (Oriya). The Akruti Oriya keyboard layout enables typing Odia characters on standard PC keyboards by mapping Odia glyphs to key positions, supporting text entry in legacy encodings and with fonts that Akruti supplies.
These are the diacritics added to consonants.
