What is a Bijoy to Unicode converter?
A Bijoy to Unicode converter changes Bangla text from the font-dependent Bijoy (ANSI/ASCII) encoding into standard Unicode, so it displays correctly on any device, browser, or app — without installing a special font like SutonnyMJ. This free online tool does it instantly and accurately, right in your browser.
Why convert Bijoy to Unicode?
Bijoy is a legacy, font-dependent encoding: the text only displays correctly when a matching font like SutonnyMJ is installed. Unicode is the modern, universal standard that renders Bangla correctly on every device, browser, app, and platform — without any special font. Converting future-proofs your text and makes it searchable, copyable, and shareable anywhere. It is essential for:
- Newspapers & publishers migrating old Bijoy archives to the web.
- Students & researchers moving assignments and papers into modern apps.
- Web editors & CMS users who need Unicode for correct on-page display and SEO.
- Government & office documents being standardised to Unicode.
- Anyone sharing Bangla on social media, email, or messaging where fonts can’t be installed.

Output looks like English letters or shows boxes (□□□)?
This is the most common confusion. If your converted result looks like random English/Latin characters, you are looking at Bijoy (ANSI) text — it only renders as Bangla when the SutonnyMJ font is applied. For text that displays everywhere, use the Unicode side of the converter. If Bangla appears as empty boxes (□□□), your device is simply missing a Bangla Unicode font — install a free one such as SolaimanLipi, Kalpurush, or Nikosh. See our full guide on fixing Bangla font boxes.
Bijoy vs Unicode: the difference
Bijoy maps Bangla letters onto ASCII/ANSI byte positions, so each glyph depends on a specific font and conjuncts (যুক্তাক্ষর) are stored as special font codes. Unicode gives every Bangla character its own universal code point (U+0980–U+09FF), so the text is self-describing and portable. This converter handles the tricky parts automatically — conjunct reconstruction and vowel-sign (কার) reordering. Read the full explainer: Bijoy vs Unicode.
| Feature | Bijoy (ANSI) | Unicode |
|---|---|---|
| Encoding type | Font-based ASCII / ANSI mapping | Universal international standard (U+0980–U+09FF) |
| Needs a special font | Yes — SutonnyMJ etc. | No — any Bangla font works |
| Displays correctly everywhere | No | Yes |
| Searchable & copyable | Often breaks | Yes |
| Conjuncts (যুক্তাক্ষর) | Stored as special font codes | Proper Unicode code points |
| Best for | Legacy print & DTP | Web, mobile & modern apps |
Bijoy to Unicode: a real example
Here is the same Bangla sentence — a line from the national anthem — shown in both encodings, converted with this tool:
| Encoding | The text |
|---|---|
| Bijoy (SutonnyMJ / ANSI) input | Avgvi †mvbvi evsjv‡`k |
| Unicode output | আমার সোনার বাংলাদেশ |
The Bijoy input looks like random Latin characters until a SutonnyMJ font is applied; the Unicode output reads correctly here with no special font. The converter also rebuilds the conjunct in বাংলাদেশ and recomposes the ো (o-kar) in সোনার automatically.
Supported fonts & formats
This tool converts Bangla text typed in the standard Bijoy ANSI layout, including SutonnyMJ, Bijoy 52, and other SutonnyMJ-compatible ANSI fonts. It outputs clean, standard Unicode Bangla that works in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Facebook, websites, and any modern application.
Tips for the most accurate conversion
- Paste plain text (not screenshots or images — those can’t be converted).
- Convert very large documents in sections for easier proofreading.
- If the result looks like Latin letters, that’s Bijoy — read it with SutonnyMJ or use the Unicode side.
- Quickly proofread rare conjuncts and reph after converting.
- Use Copy or Download PDF to keep your converted text.
Key Bangla encoding terms
- Unicode
- The universal text-encoding standard that gives every Bangla character its own code point, so text displays the same everywhere without special fonts.
- ANSI / ASCII encoding
- An older system where Bangla glyphs are mapped onto English byte positions — the text only renders with the matching font.
- Bijoy
- A popular Bangla typing system and keyboard layout that stores text in ANSI encoding (commonly via the SutonnyMJ font).
- SutonnyMJ
- The most widely used Bijoy ANSI font; “SutonnyMJ to Unicode” means the same conversion as “Bijoy to Unicode”.
- Conjunct (যুক্তাক্ষর)
- Two or more consonants joined into a single ligature — the part converters most often get wrong, and which this tool reconstructs correctly.
- Kar (কার)
- A vowel sign attached to a consonant (e.g. া, ি, ে). Bijoy stores some kars before the consonant; Unicode reorders them.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Bijoy to Unicode converter free?
Yes. It is completely free and runs entirely in your browser — no sign-up, no install, and nothing is uploaded or stored.
Why does my converted text look like English letters?
That output is Bijoy (ANSI) text. Apply a Bijoy font such as SutonnyMJ to view it, or use the Unicode side, which displays correctly in any modern app.
Is my text private and secure?
Completely. The conversion runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server, logged, or stored.
Which Bijoy fonts does it support?
It is built for the standard Bijoy ANSI layout used by SutonnyMJ and compatible fonts (including Bijoy 52). Paste text typed in those fonts and it converts to Unicode.
Can I convert Unicode back to Bijoy?
Yes. Click the Swap button to reverse the direction, or open the Unicode → Bijoy converter.
Does it work on mobile phones?
Yes. The converter works in any modern mobile or desktop browser, with no app to install.
Is “Bijoy to Unicode” the same as “SutonnyMJ to Unicode”?
Effectively yes. SutonnyMJ is the most common font used to type Bijoy (ANSI) Bangla, so converting SutonnyMJ text to Unicode is the same process this tool performs.
What is the difference between Bijoy and Avro?
Both are Bangla typing systems, but Bijoy stores text in font-dependent ANSI encoding (e.g. SutonnyMJ), while Avro types directly in Unicode. Avro text usually needs no conversion; Bijoy text does — which is exactly what this tool handles.
How accurate is the conversion?
It is built to handle the hard parts — conjuncts (যুক্তাক্ষর), reph, and vowel-sign (কার) reordering — that simple character swaps get wrong. For unusual ligatures, quickly proofread the output.
Can I convert a whole Word or PDF document?
Copy the Bijoy text from your document, paste it here, convert, then copy the Unicode back or use Download PDF. For very large files, convert in sections.
Does it work offline?
Once the page is loaded, conversion runs locally in your browser, so it keeps working even with a weak or dropped connection.
