FTR: this renders just fine on Windows 11, using the system fonts.
The first grapheme cluster (of the two created by this input) is
reported as follows:

	       position: 148 of 153 (96%), column: 0
	      character: क (displayed as क) (codepoint 2325, #o4425, #x915)
		charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
  code point in charset: 0x0915
		 script: devanagari
		 syntax: w 	which means: word
	       category: .:Base, L:Strong L2R, i:Indian
	       to input: type "ka" with devanagari-itrans input method
	    buffer code: #xE0 #xA4 #x95
	      file code: not encodable by coding system iso-latin-1-dos
		display: composed to form "क्ले" (see below)

  Composed with the following character(s) "्ले" using this font:
    harfbuzz:-outline-Nirmala UI-regular-normal-normal-sans-13-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1
  by these glyphs:
    [0 3 2325 401 16 -1 17 9 0 nil]
    [0 3 2381 312 0 -6 0 13 -9 nil]
  with these character(s):
    ् (#x94d) DEVANAGARI SIGN VIRAMA
    ल (#x932) DEVANAGARI LETTER LA
    े (#x947) DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN E

  Character code properties: customize what to show
    name: DEVANAGARI LETTER KA
    general-category: Lo (Letter, Other)
    decomposition: (2325) ('क')

So I guess in the OP's case the character is either not composed or
the font doesn't have a glyph for this composition.
