You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Latin letters with dot below are used to transliterate Sanskrit.  In
such transliterated texts it's the precomposed forms that are usually
used, not "combining dot below".  It would be very nice if Ubuntu fonts
supported these letters.  There is a lot of existing material that uses
them.

Attached screenshot shows an XML-tagged mahāvyutpatti dictionary opened
in emacs.  The default font is Ubuntu Mono, but you can see how emacs
has to use substitutions for the characters "with dot below".

If I'm not missing anything, these precomposed characters should cover
it.
