AFAICS, Debian itself is not Unicode 4.1.0 compliant yet (the unstable version

editor we use (fontforge) doesn't know about it yet (I haven't checked the
CVS version recently though).
In any case, this is a minor problem (that will get solved eventually), and
more importantly, completely orthogonal to the issue at hand.

But Unicode 4.1.0 works fine in my Ubuntu 5.04 box. Windows and it's
range of software also doesn't have any update yet, but that works fine
without any problem. It's just a character besides a particular code, so
there should not be any problem getting the output if we fix the font.
In fact I'm not getting any problem in both Windows and Linux. I just
added the codepoint in the glyph with FontLab (Windows) and it's working
well. You can check it by downloading any of the font from
http://www.ekushey.org.
What Deepayanda probably meant is that there are significant parts of
Debian-specific (and by extension Ubuntu-specific) software that is not
Unicode 4.1.0 compliant. The compliance of the Desktop portion of the
distribution doesn't mean we can call the distribution Unicode 4.1.0
compliant. Of course the modularity of a *nix system maybe a trifle too
difficult to understand for people used to MS Windows :)
So what is the solution now? :)
