I’m trying to find out how to configure Google Docs so that the page numbers appear in Bengali numerals, specifically like these symbols: (১ ২ ৩ ৪). Can anyone guide me through the process?
To display page numbers in Bengali numerals in Google Docs, start by changing the document’s language settings by going to File > Language and selecting Bengali. Then, you’ll need to use a custom numerals font that supports Bengali digits, such as Kalpurush or Siyam Rupali. Insert page numbers by going to Insert > Page numbers. After this, change the font of the page numbers to the Bengali-supporting font you installed. This should render the page numbers in Bengali numerals.
You could also install a browser extension that supports custom fonts and enables Bengali numerals. Some extensions allow for additional font manipulation, which might help if direct options in Google Docs are limited for regional numerals. Just check the extension settings for compatibility with different fonts, too. 
Another approach is to manually input the Bengali page numbers. First, disable automatic page numbering. You can do this by removing the current page numbers under Insert > Page Numbers. Then, insert text boxes or use footers to manually type each page number in Bengali font. This method is less automated but ensures that the numerals appear exactly in the desired format, especially if compatibility issues with fonts arise. This can be more reliable if no suitable font or extension is available.
To show Bengali numerals, consider integrating Unicode support into your workflow. While Google Docs supports various scripts, it sometimes struggles with numeric displays in specific languages. Enable the Google Input Tools or Windows/OSX keyboard input for Bengali numerals, which allows direct typing of numerals into the document after the automatic numbering is removed. This method requires some manual effort as you will need to replace each automatically generated page number one by one but gives precise control over the numeral appearance.
