[Neobrahmigp] Confusable combinations between Devanagari and Gurmukhi

[Akshat Joshi]

Dear All,

As discussed, sharing (as attached) the visually confusing combinations 
between Devanagari and Gurmukhi script.

Please note that none of the combinations listed are not termed to be 
equivalents of each other semantically or otherwise. They are only 
grouped based on possible visual confusibility. Here are some of the 
examples of them.

गप्पी - ਗਘੀ

डैडी - ਛੈਛੀ

रैडी - ਕੈਛੀ

वडी - ਕਛੀ

At first even if they may not be looking exactly the same, however, in 
the given context e.g. in browser bar as a part of a domain name, or as 
a single word where there is no surrounding text from the same script 
for distinguishing, they can create visual confusion in the minds of the 
user.

These are the cases of "Whole Label Confusables" where it is expected 
the "all" the constituent characters/aksharas should have an equivalent 
confusable in the other script. If there is even one single 
character/akshara which is not having an equivalent visual confusable in 
other script, it essentially create a visually distinguishable and hence 
non-confusable string. In the latter case, these confusables do not apply.

Any suggestions/additions/deletions/comments are welcome. :)
