A more of a concen of mine is the lack of a 'Bengali letter Va' in the
standard.
Some Bangla texts make a distinction where a conjunt forms with ba and va.
see http://www.btinternet.com/~abdulmalik/banglaglyphs.GIF

How am I to encode the different forms in unicode?

Also note the 'two symbols commonly found in Bangla fonts' - do these need
to be included in the standard?
