How to convert Unicode to Bijoy
- Copy your Bangla text from Avro, Google Docs, Facebook or any website.
- Paste it into the left box. The Bijoy version appears on the right as you type.
- Press Copy result, paste it into MS Word, Photoshop or Illustrator, and set the font to SutonnyMJ.
When do you need Bijoy text?
Most printing presses, newspaper layouts and many government and office documents in Bangladesh still use Bijoy fonts. Design software such as older versions of Photoshop and Illustrator also handles Bijoy more reliably than Unicode Bangla, which can break conjunct letters. Converting to Bijoy lets you type in Unicode and still deliver files that work in those places.
Tips
- English words in the same text will also show as Bangla letters in a Bijoy font. Set a normal font such as Arial on those words after pasting.
- If your text has unusual conjuncts, check them once in SutonnyMJ before printing.
- Need the other direction? Press Swap, or use the Bijoy to Unicode converter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Unicode and Bijoy?
Unicode is the world standard for Bangla text: it works on websites, phones, Facebook and Google. Bijoy is an older system that stores Bangla as English letters and needs a special font such as SutonnyMJ to show them as Bangla. Many printing presses, newspapers and offices still use Bijoy.
Why does the Bijoy result look like English letters?
That is how Bijoy text is stored. Paste it into MS Word, Photoshop or Illustrator and set the font to SutonnyMJ (or another Bijoy font). The letters then appear as Bangla.
Which fonts work with the converted text?
Any Bijoy (ANSI) font, such as SutonnyMJ, SutonnyOMJ, SolaimanLipiMJ or other "MJ" fonts. Unicode fonts such as Nikosh, Kalpurush or SolaimanLipi will not show it correctly.
Are conjunct letters (যুক্তাক্ষর) converted correctly?
Yes. The converter handles reph (র্), ra-phala, ya-phala, kar order and the common conjuncts like ক্ষ, জ্ঞ, ন্ত, স্ত and ষ্ট. Every word is tested to convert back to the same Unicode text.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device. It also works offline once the page has loaded.
