Bamini is a popular legacy Tamil font, especially in Sri Lanka and in the Tamil diaspora, and many older documents, notices and magazines were typed in it. If you have Tamil typed on a phone, with a Unicode keyboard or copied from a website, this converter turns it into Bamini codes. Paste the result into your document and set the font to Bamini, and it shows as Tamil.

How to convert

  1. Paste your Tamil Unicode text in the box on the left.
  2. Copy the result from the right. It looks like English letters: that is how Bamini stores Tamil.
  3. Paste it into Word, PageMaker, Photoshop or your design software and choose the Bamini font.

Why people still need Bamini

Bamini stores Tamil letters in the codes of English characters, so “jkpo;” shows as தமிழ் only with the Bamini font. Unicode Tamil works on every device and website.

Old templates, printing presses and some offices still expect Bamini, so text typed in Unicode has to be converted before it can be used there.

What to check

  • Unicode Tamil converts to the codes the Bamini font expects.
  • A few punctuation marks share codes with Tamil letters in Bamini, so check commas and brackets after pasting.

You need the font on your computer

The converted text only shows as Tamil with the Bamini font installed on the computer where you open it. Treeet doesn’t provide Bamini, because the font isn’t licensed for sharing.
