Yes, I couldn't find any in my XCompose file and in the layout file.

I am not sure I understand this correctly. I know that Kate is plain text editor, not something like Word, if that is what you mean

I tried thrice to send a reply to your previous message. Those messages are shown as being sent, but does not get delivered to me through debian list.
(Earlier, I got a message that there was a bounce and that I would be removed if it happens again. I don't know if I have been removed from the list or not.)
I want to repeat that my problem of .XCompose not working is not lmited to Indic scripts. It is happening with English too.
BTW, InScript is one layout among many layouts for the various Indian Scripts.
Thanks,
