In other news, you may have heard that Unicode is "virtually complete" or something along those lines , but boy howdy, you don't have to get very far into Bengali to realize how shockingly underserved it is. The script uses combining forms called conjuncts whenever two+ consonants appear together at the beginning or end of a word. They are well-defined and specific, but literally none of the 200-or-so of them have Unicode codepoints, because that's what the committee decided back in the day. The closer I look at Unicode, the less special it seems and the less reverence I feel for it.
