Dear all,
it may not be of interest internationally, but the same has been done in
the German DIN 33904 for the transliteration of Devanagari (published in
2018):
अं = aṃ
*माँसा = *māṁsā
Source: DIN 33904: Information und Dokumentation - Transliteration
Devanagari = Information and documentation - romanization Devanagari
(Berlin, 2018), p. 11
All the best
Peter Wyzlic
