Looking at previous frames, it looks like the character is char 383:

             position: 383 of 3322 (11%), column: 16
            character: સ (displayed as સ) (codepoint 2744, #o5270, #xab8)
    preferred charset: mule-unicode-0100-24ff (Unicode characters of the range U+0100..U+24FF.)
code point in charset: 0x3978
               script: gujarati
               syntax: w 	which means: word
             category: .:Base, L:Left-to-right (strong)
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET ab8" or "C-x 8 RET GUJARATI LETTER SA"
          buffer code: #xE0 #xAA #xB8
            file code: ESC #x24 #x2C #x31 #x39 #x78 (encoded by coding system iso-2022-7bit-unix)
              display: composed to form "સ્તે" (see below)

  xft:-unknown-FreeSerif-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
