* This works on CompositeCharcaters or Juktakshar-s of Indian languages like Bangla, Hindi, etc. CompositeCharcters
* are single glyphs consisting of more than one characters.
*
*
* This class works on these CompositeCharacters and places the Strings having higher number
* of Characters before the one with lower no. This is necessay to properly display the CompositeCharacters
* when they occur side by side.
