Please refer > following picture. Why do you think that the final glyph in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-mongolian/2015JulSep/att-0221/A_F_FVS2.png has anything to do with MVS? It is clearly designed to attach to another glyph. It appears to be a form of final A and E used directly after BA, PA, feminine QA, feminine GA, FA, KA, KHA, and in some of the other writing systems. You can see it in context at http://www.studymongolian.net/lessons/basics/writing/ , and both TR170 and the Quejingzhabu's document show examples. If you need to display it in isolation, it is already doubly encoded - <ZWJ, A, FVS1> and <ZWJ, E, FVS1>. Now, there *may* be an issue of whether the selection of connected final glyph is automatic. I suspect some of the examples at http://www.studymongolian.net/lessons/basics/writing/ have confused E and EE. If there is a need, one could argue that if A/E turns to the left it is a ligature, and if it turns to the right it is not a ligature, and so <KA, ZWJ, ZWNJ, ZWJ, E>. The ZWNJ suppress the ligature, and the two ZWJs preserve connecting forms. (I got the sequence from TUS 7.0.0 Section 23.2 page 803 - http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode7.0.0/ch23.pdf#G22789 .)
