Kannada Sign Spacing Candrabindu glyph

Unicode has recently accepted 0C80 Kannada Sign Spacing Candrabindu. I am
attaching the glyph for it. Please add this glyph to Lohit Kannada once the
character is published in Unicode.

Note that I am going to propose a few more Unicode characters for Kannada for
Vedic. Once Unicode accepts I'll attach those glyphs also here. This can be the
placeholder bug to ensure that the work gets done.

Thanks.

Do update bug once character is published in Unicode standard or couple of
weeks before. Its good to have Lohit release simultaneously with Unicode
release.

I see this character is still not present in Unicode 8.0. When do you think
this will happen?

Not sure. Possibly 9.0 or at worst 10.0. (IIRC I heard they are also going to
do one major version bump every year with minor versions reserved for emergency
heavy use character releases [like Indian Rupee Sign] and such...)

I think lets close this bug for now and reopen once this is done. We will again
check Lohit compatibility with Unicode 9.0.
