As a telugu speaker, let me try answering you question..
The squiggly character you see has two characters joined
The top and Bottom..
The top By itself can be used separately so It would be called "ja"
The bottom if used by itself would be called "na"
So basically the grapheme you see is made by joining to consonants Ja and na ..so it basically becomes "Jna"
(spelt gna)
there are specific rules like english but like any language we have to learn these rules..eg I know that
I can add k+ nowledge and that makes something in english..
But what if I add ra+no "rnoledge", yes you can add but that sounds weired, not sure if there is any rule which says you cannot add R+na, same with telugu.
