What are the IAST symbols for
I have glanced through the Wikipedia page for IAST but couldn't find desired content.
However IPA pronunciations of ड़ and ढ़ seem to be denoted as ṛa and ṛha respectively.
The primary reason is that IAST was designed for the classical Indic languages which don't have those consonants. The diacritic nukta was introduced in more modern times. The conventional neo-IAST transliterations are ड़ = ṛ(a) and ढ़ = ṛh(a), which is not IPA – IPA would be [ɽə] and [ɽʰə].
