What is a Unicode to Bijoy converter?
A Unicode to Bijoy converter turns standard Unicode Bangla into Bijoy (SutonnyMJ / ANSI) text — the font-based format still used by many newspapers, publishers, and DTP houses in Bangladesh. It rebuilds conjuncts (যুক্তাক্ষর) and reorders vowel signs so the Bijoy output is ready to paste into your layout software and display with a SutonnyMJ font. It is free, accurate, and runs entirely in your browser.
How to convert Unicode to Bijoy
- Paste Unicode text. Put your Unicode Bangla into the left box.
- Get Bijoy instantly. The Bijoy (ANSI) result appears on the right automatically.
- Copy & apply SutonnyMJ. Copy the output, paste it into your document, and set the font to SutonnyMJ to display it as Bangla.
Unicode to Bijoy: a real example
The same Bangla sentence — a line from the national anthem — converted from Unicode to Bijoy with this tool:
| Encoding | The text |
|---|---|
| Unicode input | আমার সোনার বাংলাদেশ |
| Bijoy (SutonnyMJ / ANSI) output | Avgvi †mvbvi evsjv‡`k |
The Bijoy output looks like Latin characters here because no SutonnyMJ font is applied — that is exactly how ANSI text behaves. Paste it into Word or your layout app, set the font to SutonnyMJ, and it reads as proper Bangla.
Will the Bijoy output work in Word, PageMaker & InDesign?
Yes. The converter outputs standard Bijoy ANSI text that pastes cleanly into Microsoft Word, Adobe PageMaker, InDesign, QuarkXPress, and other DTP tools. To make it readable:
- Copy the Bijoy output from the right box.
- Paste it into your document.
- Select the pasted text and set the font to SutonnyMJ (or another Bijoy ANSI font such as Bijoy 52).
You only need SutonnyMJ installed on the computer that displays or prints the document — not to run this converter. Learn more about what SutonnyMJ is.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Unicode to Bijoy?
Paste your Unicode Bangla into the left box. The Bijoy (ANSI) version appears instantly on the right — copy it, then apply the SutonnyMJ font to see it as Bangla.
The output looks like English letters — is that normal?
Yes. Bijoy (ANSI) text only renders as Bangla when the SutonnyMJ font is applied. Paste it into your document and set the font to SutonnyMJ.
Why would I convert Unicode back to Bijoy?
Mainly for legacy print and DTP workflows — newspapers, books, and software that still require Bijoy/SutonnyMJ ANSI input.
Is it free and private?
Yes. It is free and runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
Do I need to install the SutonnyMJ font?
Not to run the converter — it works without any font. You only need SutonnyMJ installed on the computer where you finally view or print the Bijoy document, so the ANSI text renders as Bangla.
Will the Bijoy output work in MS Word, PageMaker and InDesign?
Yes. Paste the output into your document and set the font to SutonnyMJ (or another Bijoy ANSI font). It works in Word, PageMaker, InDesign, QuarkXPress, and similar DTP software.
Is “Unicode to Bijoy” the same as “Unicode to SutonnyMJ”?
Yes. SutonnyMJ is the standard font for Bijoy (ANSI) text, so converting Unicode to Bijoy produces exactly the text you display with the SutonnyMJ font.
Can I convert a whole document to Bijoy?
Yes. Copy the Unicode text from your document, paste it here, then copy the Bijoy output back. For very large files, convert in sections and proofread rare conjuncts.
