Maybe they're not valid Bengali characters? Did you do an
encoding-naive truncation at some point?

My mail client cannot display the latter few characters before the
ellipsis, but can display the first few fine.

E0 A6 2E is not valid UTF-8: 11100000 10100110 00101110

The lead byte indicates that the codepoint consists of three bytes,
but only the very next byte is a trail byte (10......). The third
byte is a single character, a period ("."), to be exact.

Setting the MSB on the third byte gives us

11100000 10100110 10101110 = E0 A6 AE

, which is a valid UTF-8 encoding of U+09AE BENGALI LETTER MA.

Check your input data.
