Type "ज", then the halant key combo, then "ञ" to form the joined cluster.
Type "त", then the halant key combo, then "त" to form the joined cluster.
Type "द", then the halant key combo, then "ध" to form the joined cluster.
Type "द", then the halant key combo, then "व" to form the joined cluster.
Type "श", then the halant key combo, then "र" to form the joined cluster.
Type "द", then the halant key combo, then "य" to form the joined cluster.
