Bengali

U+0980 – U+09FF (2432–2559)

The Bengali script (also known as Bangla) is used for the Bengali language, which belongs to the Indo-Aryan group and is the national language of Bangladesh; it is also spoken by the majority of the population of the Indian State of West Bengal. The Bengali script is also used for Assamese, the Indo-Aryan language of the Indian State of Assam. You can see some Unicode Bengali on the What is Unicode? in Bangla page.

Microsoft Windows incorporates support for Bengali Unicode from Windows XP SP2 onwards.
