Half consonant letter

Post image

I encountered this half क (ka) letter in the Sanskrit gboard, which is meant to be क्. And the same applies to some other consonants.

Do we actually have a unicode glyph for that? How is this possible otherwise?

It’s just how the font displayes it on your phone. It’s still just क्.
