BENGALI VOWEL SIGN II is a spacing combining mark (positive advance width) from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of BENGALI VOWEL SIGN II is Left-to-Right (Strong). It belongs to the strong left-to-right characters..

The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right. This includes most alphabetic characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that are typically written in this direction. The presence of L characters in a text influences the overall text directionality in bidirectional contexts.

Spacing Mark (Mc) refers to marks that typically appear as separate characters in writing. Unlike nonspacing marks, spacing marks take up space in the text and may affect the placement of surrounding characters. They are often used in scripts like Devanagari to indicate vowel sounds.

This character belongs to the Bengali block. The Bengali block includes characters used in the Bengali script, which is used for writing Bengali, Assamese, and several other languages in eastern India and Bangladesh. The script is also an abugida, where consonants have an inherent vowel sound. This block contains characters for vowels, consonants, numerals, and various diacritical marks that modify the vowel sounds or silence the inherent vowel. Bengali is the fifth most spoken language in the world, and this script is central to its rich literary tradition, which includes works from Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore..
