The complaint in this silly article about tiny Klingon being included before a complete Bengali is precisely because getting Bengali right was more complex and far more important.

A better question is, Are there any native Bengali speakers creating character set standards in Bangladesh or India?

And a native Bengali speaker has discussed his input into the Unicode discussions and why he disagreed with the author.

It's not a misspelling: the Hindi word is dalchini, and the Bengali word is darchini.

So was Sir Winston Churchill, by whose policy 10 mln Bengali people died from starvation.

I kindof believe this argument for Chinese and Bengali, but it doesn't seem true for å/aa.

They also support Bengali, and I bet they would be open to suggestions.

(I can't read Bengali, so I'm not entirely sure what the johphola is, but I'm trying to relate this to Devanagari -- if my analogy is mistaken or if you don't know Devanagari, let me know) I don't see anything discriminatory about not giving glyphs their own codepoints.
