[OSM-talk] bengali on my JOSM won't work

[ビカス ヤダワ (vikas yadav)]

No luck!

Even potlatch is showing boxes for bengali.
Its worse cause even Hindi is boxed.

Btw, when I do save the properties the with all those boxes, do box
characters go to OSM or the unicode characters of that I actually pasted?
