reporting absence of a symbol #2

Open Codernob opened 6 months ago

Hi, your repo is super useful. I just wanted to point out that the symbol for a variant of "উ-কার" is missing. When I write "পুরুষ", the " ু" form of "উ" is printed with "র".

Thank you for reporting this @Codernob !

This is a conscious design choice that Palash Baran Pal made while designing bangtex. Please refer to the first two paragraphs on Page 11 of original_bangtex_manual.pdf. He writes "এই সব চিহ্ন অকারণ বাহুল্য".

Since this repository is just meant to be a wrapper around bangtex with no other additional features; I won't be implementing a bugfix for this.

However, I will keep this issue open for anyone who wants to extend bangtex, implement this, and then open a pull request.
