Partial Answer
Disclaimer: I speak English, am native Chinese, know a lot of Japanese. However, I have no knowledge of Russian, Bengali or Korean.
You are
The Russian letter Гг
Russian people use me intact.
The Russians use this letter directly.
English people use me flipped.
English has the letter "L", a flipped version thereof.
Bengali people use me hooked. No idea.
Korean people use me shaved. No idea.
Chinese people use me flipped and hooked.
Chinese has a character 乚, which is Г and a hook added. One thing to note that this is an ancient, archaic Chinese character, and is not used at all in the modern language. It's the ancient form of the modern character 乙 meaning secondary. As a native I had to look it up in the dictionary to know its meaning.
Japanese people use me flipped and stretched.
You could either be the hiragana く, the hiragana へ or the katakana ヘ, all of which look like Г flipped (rotated) and stretched.
