Hi, I'm not familiar with Unicode Bengali but if the character sequence in question requires ZWJ or ZWNJ, as suggested by Sayamindu Dasgupta, I might be able to point to the potential problem.
OOo has been filtering out (i.e. not allowing ZWJ and ZWNJ to reach ICU) since Nov 2005. This has been a major problem for Unicode Sinhala which requires ZWJ to reach the renderer.
