Text typed in Bijoy only looks right when that font is installed. Converted to Unicode, it shows correctly on every phone, in Word and on websites, and search engines can read it.
Bijoy fonts such as SutonnyMJ are still used by newspapers, printing presses, offices and DTP shops in Bangladesh, and many older documents were typed in them. Text typed in Bijoy looks like random English letters on any device without the font. This converter turns it into Unicode Bangla, which shows correctly everywhere: in Word, on phones, in emails and on websites.
How to convert
- Open your document and copy the Bijoy text. Don’t change its font first.
- Paste it in the box on the left, or open a .txt file. The Unicode text appears on the right as you paste.
- Copy the result or download it as a .txt file, then use a Unicode font such as Nirmala UI, Vrinda, Kalpurush, SolaimanLipi or Noto Sans Bengali.
Why Bijoy text needs converting
Bijoy fonts store Bangla letters and conjunct shapes in the codes of English characters, so “evsjv” shows as বাংলা only in a Bijoy font. Unicode Bangla, which Avro and phone keyboards type, works everywhere without a special font.
Example: “Avwg evsjvq Mvb MvB” becomes “আমি বাংলায় গান গাই”.
What the converter takes care of
- Vowel signs typed before the consonant (ি ে ৈ) are moved after it, and split vowels (ো ৌ) are joined.
- Reph (র্), ya-phala and ra-phala are put in Unicode order, including in words such as কর্মকর্তা and মৃত্যু.
- Some letters such as য় come out as two Unicode characters (য + ়). They look the same and work everywhere.
Converting a Word file
Select all the text in Word (Ctrl + A), copy it and paste it here. Copy the result back into Word and set the font to Nirmala UI or another Unicode font. Formatting such as bold and tables isn’t carried over, so paste paragraph by paragraph if you need to keep the layout.

Questions
Why does my Bijoy text look like English letters?
Bijoy stores Bangla letters as English keyboard characters. Without the font they show as those characters. Converting to Unicode fixes that for good.
What if my text is already in Unicode?
Then it doesn’t need converting: pasting it here would scramble it. If you need it in Bijoy for print, use the Bijoy-from-Unicode converter instead.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Paste the text, then copy the result. Phones show Unicode text with their built-in fonts.
Can I convert back to Bijoy?
Yes. Use the Unicode to Bijoy converter, linked under the result.
