> Brahmi just like any other Indic script also has the ability to form conjuncts, but despite using "Segoe UI
> Historic" font which supports Brahmi Conjuncts, Emacs is not able to display them.

This is a missing feature: we don't have composition rules for the
Brahmi script, and more generally don't have any support for that
script.  Patches to add that are welcome.
