You can use BabelMap to see all glyphs or simply use the Annapurna SIL Devanagari font that I suggested.

ADE, will only display the glyph if you correctly embed it in the ePub. Open your ePub with Sigil and click the green checkmark to find out, if your font is actually correctly referenced.

You can use any name that you like. The only thing that ADE cares about is that the font path is correct. For an example, open my Devanagari ePub with Sigil.
