Summary

This PR normalizes 28 occurrences of the Gurmukhi adhak bindi character (ਁ, U+0A01) to the bindi character (ਂ, U+0A02) across 27 line files in collections/lines/.

The adhak bindi (ਁ) appears in only these 27 primary data fields out of ~141k line files in the database. After cross-referencing each line against two independent printed sources of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the character appears as a standard bindi (ਂ) in both — suggesting the adhak bindi in the database is most likely an artifact of digitization rather than an intentional editorial distinction.

A full line-by-line audit with screenshots from both sources is attached:

So it should be 0A01 -> 0A02 + FE00

Though idk why I chose VS1 here. I can't remember the reasoning.

However this will look like a normally formed sihari + bindi following without Sant Lipi font. And then, where supported, it will show up as a bindi BEFORE the sihari. Same as your PDF shows.
