But it is not existing in IndicOTCharClass of Pango, it is only "_xx", so it need be modified to "_ct". The patch of parag did this. And I think there are many characters' class which need be modified because of updating in Unicode 5 in IndicOTCharClass of Pango.

Please reopen this bug. The bleeding edge version of Pango still has U+0BB6's type as _xx instead of _ct: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/pango/trunk/modules/indic/indic-ot-class-tables.c?revision=2684&view=markup and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481203 is still open.
This is a huge disturbance in using my Linux box. This U+0BB6 works great when combined with U+0BC7 etc., in my Mac OSX box. Like Padmanabhan stated here, Pango has to be fixed to make Linux be in compliance with Unicode 4.1 and higher. Please re-open this bug.
