"using a code in PUA would be better" is perhaps a simplification of the issue. From <http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=VendorUseOfPUA> "It is not always easy to find out how software vendors have made use of the Unicode private use areas. Use by software vendors of PUA code points does not necessarily represent a concern for end users that have their own PUA character needs, provided that software products do not assume semantics for PUA code points that affect text processing in ways that are adverse in relation to the user's needs. This has been known to happen in some products, however." As a question, is there a specific reason we are going down the PUA path ? The original email alluded to making changes in the Bengali codepoint range. The emails from Runa and Praveen indicate that while this is possible, there needs to be a specific path that needs to be followed. In fact, Praveen ends up raising questions around rendering engines as well. A PUA may help out Swarup, but like I mention in an earlier email, these niche fixes are counter productive and end up being a maintenance burden. > Also perhaps could discuss this further off list. Why ? If this touches the Bengali community I'd rather have it on the 'anubad' list of ankur.org.in if indlinux feels it is off-topic. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
