[INDOLOGY] A strange dot in the manuscript

[Дмитрий Комиссаров]

Dear list members,
Could you please help me interpret a sign in a manuscript written in the
Newari script.
The scribe made a mistake and for the akṣara "ccha" wrote two vowel
diacritics — i and ī. Under the ī diacritic, he placed some kind of dot
(see the picture; sorry for the poor image quality). Could this dot mean
that of the two diacritics, the one under which the dot is placed should be
considered the correct one?
I would be grateful for any hints you can give me.
Best regards,
Dmitrii Komissarov
