How to convert Bijoy to Unicode
- Open your Bijoy document (MS Word, PageMaker or a text file) and copy the text.
- Paste it into the left box. It may look like English letters: that is normal for Bijoy.
- The Unicode Bangla appears on the right. Press Copy result and paste it anywhere.
Why your Bangla looks broken online
Bijoy was made before Bangla had a world standard. It stores each Bangla letter as an English letter and relies on a font to draw it. When the text moves to a website, a phone or Facebook, that font is missing and readers see "Avgvi †mvbvi evsjv" instead of আমার সোনার বাংলা. Unicode stores the real Bangla letters, so it works on every device and search engines can read it.
Tips
- Convert only the Bangla parts. English words in a Bijoy document are usually in a different font and would be changed too.
- Check names and rare conjuncts once after converting.
- Need the other direction? Press Swap, or use the Unicode to Bijoy converter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert Bijoy to Unicode?
Bijoy text only shows as Bangla with a Bijoy font such as SutonnyMJ. Without it, readers see English letters. Unicode Bangla shows correctly everywhere: websites, Facebook, WhatsApp, phones, Google search and email.
How do I copy text out of an old Bijoy document?
Open the document in MS Word, select the text and copy it. It is fine if it looks like English letters (Avgvi †mvbvi) after pasting here: that is the Bijoy code the converter reads.
Can I convert a Nikosh or SutonnyMJ file?
SutonnyMJ, SutonnyOMJ and other "MJ" fonts are Bijoy, so convert them here. Nikosh, Kalpurush and SolaimanLipi are already Unicode fonts and need no conversion.
Which font should I use after converting?
Any Unicode Bangla font: Nikosh, Kalpurush, SolaimanLipi, Noto Sans Bengali or the default Bangla font on your phone or computer.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
