Terminal And Python console isn't showing Bangla

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I can't print anything in Bengali in Python console and Ubuntu terminal! When I try to print some Bengali characters in console or try to write Bengali in the terminal I just see some broken words! You can see it in my screenshot:

The same code is being used to show Bengali characters in CMD window of Windows 7, so I am sure that this is not a programming problem, rather Ubuntu is not showing Bengali in my PC correctly. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

command-line

    Most terminals including gnome-terminal do not support Unicode shaping.

    • Try with konsole (KDE) or mlterm, each had implemented a shaping functionality.
