Neither Assam Government nor Assam Literary Society has asked Unicode
Inc to encode Assamese stuff.

Why did Unicode Inc encode Assamese stuff?

Can you reply back with detailed information on what prompt Unicode
Inc to encode Assamese stuff as "Bengali"?

Thank you in advance for providing this information,

Tulasi

Delex,

you are obviously confusing character sets, scripts, writing systems,
orthographies, languages, peoples and names thereof (which may vary
across languages and applications).

NB: Some might argue that Unicode already distinguishes Indic scripts
on a finer level than necessary, since elsewhere many would be seen as
hands or typefaces of a single script, hence they would unify encoding
and leave the looks to fonts completely.

There’s a London in my (German) home county. I think it has like 20
citizens. Proves nothing.
