        OK. Here is my take on it.
 “मनोज श्रिवास्तव” is how to write my name; this is how an older version
 of emacs used to render it (correctly)

        This is what it looks like now:

        C-u C-x = on the first character of the second word says:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
        character: श (2358, #o4466, #x936)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
       code point: 0x0936
           syntax: w    which means: word
         category: i:Indian
      buffer code: #xE0 #xA4 #xB6
        file code: #xE0 #xA4 #xB6 (encoded by coding system utf-8-emacs)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
     -unknown-FreeSans-normal-normal-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x4DB)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

        I ran gdb, but I did not know what I was looking for, and I got
 lost.
