In the traditional orthography, that had been taught in the primary education till that time, any consonant or consonant ligature followed by the vowel sign of "u", "ū", or "r̥" are represented by a cursive consonant-vowel ligature. The glyph of each consonant had its own way of ligating with these vowel signs. This irregularity was simplified in the reformed script. As per that, a vowel sign or the consonant sign would always have a disconnected symbol that does not fuse with the base consonant.
