How to Convert Bijoy to Unicode: Step-by-Step
To convert Bijoy to Unicode, paste your Bijoy (SutonnyMJ / ANSI) text into a converter and copy the Unicode result. It takes seconds, is completely free, and runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded or installed.
Step-by-step
- Open the converter. Go to the free Bijoy to Unicode converter on the homepage.
- Paste your Bijoy text. Copy your Bijoy (SutonnyMJ / ANSI) text and paste it into the left box.
- Get Unicode instantly. The converted Unicode Bangla appears in the right box automatically — no button needed.
- Copy or download. Click Copy to copy the Unicode text, or Download PDF to save it. The Unicode displays without any special font.
A real example
Here is one line of the national anthem in Bijoy and the Unicode you get back from the converter:
| Encoding | The text |
|---|---|
| Bijoy (SutonnyMJ / ANSI) input | Avgvi †mvbvi evsjv‡`k |
| Unicode output | আমার সোনার বাংলাদেশ |
Notice the Bijoy input looks like random Latin letters — that is ANSI text with no SutonnyMJ font applied. The Unicode output reads as proper Bangla on any device, with no font to install.
How to convert a whole Word or PageMaker document
Converting a full document is the same process applied to a larger selection:
- Select all the Bijoy text in Word/PageMaker (Ctrl+A) and copy it (Ctrl+C).
- Paste it into the converter’s left box.
- Copy the Unicode from the right box, paste it back, and set the font to a Unicode font like SolaimanLipi or Kalpurush.
For very long files, convert a few paragraphs at a time so you can proofread each section.
Tips for accurate results
- Paste plain text, not screenshots — images can’t be converted.
- For long documents, convert in sections to proofread more easily.
- Quickly check rare conjuncts (যুক্তাক্ষর) and reph after converting.
- Converting from SutonnyMJ specifically? Use SutonnyMJ to Unicode. Need the reverse? Use Unicode to Bijoy for print and DTP.
Troubleshooting
- Output still looks like English letters? You may have copied from the input (left) box. Copy from the right Unicode box, and make sure the place you paste it isn’t forcing a Bijoy font.
- Seeing boxes (□□□) instead of Bangla? Your device is missing a Bangla font — see how to fix Bangla font boxes.
- A few conjuncts look wrong? Re-copy the source as plain text; styled or partial copies can drop characters.
Why convert to Unicode?
Unicode Bangla displays correctly on every device and app without a special font, and it stays searchable and copyable. Bijoy text only renders with fonts like SutonnyMJ installed. For the full background, read Bijoy vs Unicode.
FAQ
Is the Bijoy to Unicode converter free?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up or install, and runs entirely in your browser.
Do I need to install any font or software to convert?
No. Conversion happens in the browser, and the Unicode result needs no special font — it shows as Bangla everywhere. You only need a Unicode font like SolaimanLipi if you want to re-style it inside a document.
Why does my text still look like English after pasting?
That is the Bijoy input in the left box — ANSI text shown without the SutonnyMJ font. Copy the Unicode result from the right box; it displays as Bangla automatically.
Can I convert a whole document at once?
Yes. Select all the Bijoy text, paste it into the converter, and copy the Unicode back. For very long files, convert section by section so you can proofread each part.
Will the Unicode text work on Facebook and mobile?
Yes. Standard Unicode Bangla displays correctly on Facebook, WhatsApp, websites, and both Android and iPhone — with no extra font needed.
