That is surely not the case.  These characters are special letters
corresponding to Tibetan letters that are used for transcribing
Sanskrit, and all have a general category of Lo.  1880 (Anusvara) and
1881 (Visarga) are well-known letters, and occur in most Indic
scripts; 1882-1884 are used in Kālacakra texts and correspond to
special Tibetan superfixed letters (see
http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2009/09032-n3568.pdf for some examples in
Mongolian and Tibetan).  You may argue whether they are letters or
signs, but they are definitely not punctuation marks, and I would
expect software to treat them as an integral part of the word they
occur in.
