then the conversion will simply strip the errant characters. Note that
either solution meets the needs of refusal to interpret the errant
sequences.
Simply stripping the errant byte sequences means that they are
each interpreted as the empty string of characters.
I'm working on a Latin-based font that's got a large number of kerning
pairs already defined and I'm trying to pare this list of pairs down to
the bare minimum. There seem to be many pairs which are unlikely ever to
be used. These pairs all involve a lowercase on the left with an
uppercase on
1. The sequence 'Vowel+Virama+Ya...' is illogical to scholars of
Bengali and indeed Indic languages in general.
I refuted this yesterday by indication that this usage is an innovation.
2. Such sequences are not semantically equivalent to the intended
... sentence fragment.
3. There are no other
Andy,
Your BENGALI LETTER OPEN O can be encoded already with the sequence
U+0985 U+09CD U+09AF.
Your BENGALI LETTER CENTRAL E can be encoded already with the
sequence U+098F U+09CD U+09AF.
There is no need to bring the Bengali code block in line with the
Devanagari block.

I agree with Kent that it is somewhat less robust to simply remove
ill-formed sequences, since it removes any indication that the data was
corrupted. Either better to signal an error, or insert some other indication
like a REPLACEMENT CHARACTER or SUB at that point. (And in my reading, C12a

Nice that the API gives one the option to choose, huh? ;-)

Noble names, Roozbeh. ;-)
