Before Unicode, Hindi, Bangla, Nepali, Tamil, Sinhala and Myanmar text was usually typed in fonts that drew local letters over the English keyboard codes. Files typed that way only look right with the same font installed. These converters turn that text into Unicode, and Unicode back into the legacy font for printers, offices and exam forms that still use it.

How to get good results

Copy the text straight from the document, without changing the font first. If you paste text that is already in Unicode into a “to Unicode” converter, it will be scrambled, so check which kind you have: legacy text looks like random English letters when the font isn’t installed.

Legacy fonts allow a few spellings that Unicode doesn’t, so read the result once, especially names and rare conjuncts.

Questions

Why does my text look like random English letters?

Legacy fonts store each letter as an English letter or symbol and only look right with that font installed. Converting to Unicode turns them into real Hindi, Bangla, Nepali, Tamil, Sinhala or Myanmar letters.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your text stays on your device.

Will the converted text work in Word and on websites?

Yes. Unicode text works in Word, Google Docs, WhatsApp, email and websites without any special font.

Can I convert a whole file?

Open a .txt file or paste the text from Word. For Word files, copy the text, convert it, and paste it back with a Unicode font such as Mangal, Nirmala UI or Noto Sans.
