Unicode in, Bijoy out.
Some printers, designers and offices still work with Bijoy. Paste Bangla typed on a phone or with a Unicode keyboard, then paste the result into your document and set the font to Bijoy.
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. If you have Bangla typed on a phone, with a Unicode keyboard or copied from a website, this converter turns it into Bijoy codes. Paste the result into your document and set the font to Bijoy, and it shows as Bangla.
How to convert
- Paste your Bangla Unicode text in the box on the left.
- Copy the result from the right. It looks like English letters: that is how Bijoy stores Bangla.
- Paste it into Word, PageMaker, Photoshop or your design software and choose the Bijoy font.
Why people still need Bijoy
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.
Old templates, printing presses and some offices still expect Bijoy, so text typed in Unicode has to be converted before it can be used there.
What to check
- Conjuncts are written with Bijoy’s own conjunct shapes where the font has one, and with half forms otherwise.
- English letters and symbols in the Unicode text stay as they are, so they show as Bangla shapes in a Bijoy font. Keep English parts in another font.
- Western digits become Bangla digits.
You need the font on your computer
The converted text only shows as Bangla with the Bijoy font installed on the computer where you open it. Treeet doesn’t provide Bijoy, because the font isn’t licensed for sharing.
