Just try talking with me in Bangla and you will soon see who has the
better grasp :-)
Your spelling of this letter has just earned top place in my list of
spellings for it!
Jawfola
Zofola
Zophola
Jofola
Japhala
Yaphala
I just checked in a copy of bangla academy's Bangla banan obhidhan, and
there is only one occurrence of r-y-jawfola. That word is r(y)apar
(=rapper), so it is not surprising that you have not come across it
before.
However if you look in a copy of Samsads English-Bengali dictionary you
will find hundreds of examples listed under 'r'

This is correct. To make it work in a font you would need to add the
lookup as follows
