Re: AW: Problem with `selnolig` package and multi-lingual documents

["R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar" <chyavana-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

I get this warning when the .tex file generated by pandoc from .md is 
compiled by lualatex:
------
warning  (ligkern): error: 
...xlive/2022/texmf-dist/tex/lualatex/selnolig/selno
lig.lua:134: bad argument #1 to 'char' (invalid value)
.
<recently read> \endtemplate

l.760 \textsc{Word} &
                     \textsc{Meaning} \\
-----

An MWE would take more time to generate. I suspect that it happens with 
Romanized Sanskrit below the table headings shown above. It probably has 
to do with diacritics for Latin letters in a "kernable" combination.

I will post it when I isolate the text that causes the problem 
repeatably. I will also post it at TSE as you have suggested.
