Description

The markdown render is close enough:

```xml




```

The sets should correspond to each other somehow, but the Bengali numerals aren't strictly monospace.

I wonder if there would be any way for an ascii space (U+0020) to _align to the next character cell_?

Here are the 'ascii' character columns roughly shown:

if 'space' automatically snapped to the next character cell to the right, it would be a simple matter to add spaces to the latin side to make it line up.

The downside to all of this is that a sentence in Bengali would look very irregular. So, a comment or a multi word value in Bengali would look worse and not better.
