Apparently this is font-specific, because that doesn't work with the
"Bangla" font we're using. Apparently the font doesn't have that
character, nor does the Lohit Bengail or Rupali font--I get rectangular
boxes. Unfortunately, we don't have Arial Unicode on our Linux machine.
If a font is truly Unicode-compliant, then it should contain the
characters I used to test (or the ones you need). Are you sure about
those fonts--could they be using some older system?
I just downloaded a font called bangla.ttf from
http://www.omicronlab.com/bangla-fonts.html (lots of free/open source
Bengali fonts there; not sure if this is the Bangla that you have). I
looked at the font in FontLab Studio and it does have all the Unicode
characters, and the following lines were successful:
{\fontspec{Bangla} \char"09C2 \qquad +/= \qquad \char"09C4}
{\fontspec{Bangla} \char"00A0\char"09C2 \qquad +/= \qquad
\char"00A0\char"09C4}
(again, I threw in the quads and the extra characters just to keep the
combining marks well apart from each other to avoid any possible
interaction.)
