### Probhat Bangla keyboard layout for Mac OSX
# Probhat Keyboard Layout for Mac OSX
This project hosts Probhat keyboard layout configuration for Mac OSX systems.
This project provides the Probhat keyboard layout as a Mac OS native bundle. Probhat is one of the most popular keyboard layouts for the Bangla (aka Bengali) language.
This is faithful to the scheme published at [ekushey.org][e] <sup>[🏛][w]</sup> with two variations:
There are two variations:
- **Probhat (BD)**: BDT symbol (৳) on <kbd>SHIFT</kbd>+<kbd>4</kbd>
- **Probhat (IN)**: INR symbol (₹) on <kbd>SHIFT</kbd>+<kbd>4</kbd>
Other than this variation, the layouts are faithful to the scheme published at [ekushey.org][e]<span style="font-size:60%">[🏛][w]</span>
*if this is useful to you, feel free to add a github star, thanks!*

### NOTES
