    Hi, I am trying to use some unicode Devnagari fonts. But when using them to create slides in PowerPoint, I am getting either blocks or latin/English characters. I am using Windows 10 Home single language. These fonts I have used on my previous machine which had win 10 pro and worked flawlessly. What do I need to do more? What am I doing wrong? My system language is English US. I don't want to change system language.

    :)

    Using the bengali Unicode based Fonts

    Hello Everybody !

    I'm wondering if it is possible to use the Bengali Unicode based fonts in Windows Mobile 6.5. Usually i like to visit a lot of bengali websites which are written in unicode based bengali fonts. But unfortunately when i try to visit them in my HTC
    HD2 they just represent some square blocks. for example :
    মুক্তমনা বাংলা ব্লগ – বিজ্ঞান, যুক্তি, মুক্তচিন্তা

    this is the site i like to visit. can u guys tell me a way so that my phone'll show the characters correctly instead of showing those blocks ?

    Code:

    So please see and let me know how can I type the word in Unicode in the same way as it is appearing in Non Unicode font.
    I tried on Unicode keyboard Shift+M types श
    to make it half it is followed by D which types ् so श + ् = श्
    but when I add V which types न
    then result I get is श्न which does not appear same as

    so on a Unicode Hindi keyboard I have to type
    Shift+M+D+V = श्न
    but what I want to get is

    Type a Unicode Character

    You can convert numbers from decimal to hex to octal to binary. But those are the numbers used as Unicode code points. They're the "serial numbers" for characters.

    But the alt codes are a different. They're not related to the Unicode code points. There is no numerical conversion from Unicode codes to alt codes.

    Alt codes predate Unicode by a decade or so. Alt codes are just arbitrary numbers that Microsoft assigned. So you have to look up the key codes. Do a google search to find a complete list.
