i will explain what i means in terms that many might understand...

even if one is convinced that ॐ is the beginning of universe by some
standard, nobody will allow me to put it in the first slot in Unicode
standard...

yes, there is a process to modify unicode standard to some and certain
extent... and think of how inadequate one would feel if ॐ has to prove
credentials for that :-)

So ॐ  been aptly placed at a some position that made sense to the
thinker of ISCII who contributed to the unicode standard... now
whether to follow unicode standard  because it does not offer ॐ full
freedom to modify is a completely different choice ॐ makes...

at least i am enjoying the healthy non-discussion!
