Bug Description

Source text:

पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम् पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते

Save it to a file (say, test.txt), then cat in the terminal:

$ cat test.txt
परणमदः परणमिदम परणात परणमदचयत
परणसय परणमादाय परणमवावशिषयत

All "overline" and "underline" characters are silently removed.

Should be: Actual result:
कु ku => क ka
कू kū => क ka
कृ kṛ => क ka
कॄ kṝ => क ka
कॢ kḷ => क ka
कॣ kḹ => क ka
के ke => क ka
कै kai => क ka
कँ kam̐ => क ka
कं kaṁ => क ka
क् k => क ka

This happens only in Konsole — that is, kate, Akregator etc render everything correctly.
