Lastly, the issue of hasanta (halanta) in both the Bengali (U+09CD) and the Devanagari (U+094D) scripts cannot be randomly thought of as uniformly behaving as variants in all the positions/ contexts. It is irrelevant in cases of occurence between two consonants, where it forms a conjunct or a cluster. The case is neither considered for instances involving explicit hasantas (where we use ZWNJ). However, the hasanta (halanta) (U+09CD vs. (U+094D)) in the final positions, where the the shape is intact, could be considered as variants. For example [praak; vaac], প্রাক্ vs. प्राक् ; বাচ্ vs. वाच् .
