# Probhat Keyboard Layout for Mac OSX

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:

- **Probhat (BD)**: BDT symbol (৳) on <kbd>SHIFT</kbd>+<kbd>4</kbd>
- **Probhat (IN)**: INR symbol (₹) on <kbd>SHIFT</kbd>+<kbd>4</kbd>

⭐ *if this is useful to you, feel free to add a github star, thanks!* ⭐
