Convert Unicode Bangla to Bijoy

Some printing shops, design programs and government forms still expect text in Bijoy. Type or paste Unicode Bangla (আমার সোনার বাংলা) and get the Bijoy characters (Avgvi †mvbvi evsjv) that display as Bangla when the text is set in SutonnyMJ. The conversion runs in your browser.

Features

  • Works in both directions

    Type Unicode Bangla and the Bijoy text appears; type or paste Bijoy and the Unicode appears. Both boxes are editable and update as you type.

  • Phonetic typing like Avro

    Switch phonetic typing on in the Unicode box and write “ami” then space to get আমি. The Bijoy text follows as you go.

  • See Bijoy text as Bangla

    Bijoy text looks like English letters without a Bijoy font, so the page shows a Bangla preview. If SutonnyMJ is installed the box uses it, or you can load your own font file; it is never uploaded.

  • Conjuncts, kars and reph placed correctly

    Bijoy writes ি ে ৈ before the letter and the reph after it, and uses special glyphs for conjuncts such as ক্ষ, জ্ঞ and ন্ত. The converter produces that visual order for you.

  • Checked in both directions

    The tables are the same ones used by the Bijoy to Unicode converter, and a broad list of common words converts to Bijoy and back to the same Unicode text in the tests.

  • English text and numbers stay readable

    English words and ASCII punctuation are left unchanged. Bangla digits become the digits 0 to 9, which a Bijoy font draws as Bangla digits.

  • Bijoy characters without a Bijoy keyboard

    Buttons insert the characters an English keyboard cannot type, such as ‡ ¨ ª © ¶, so you can write Bijoy text by hand. Open and save .txt files of up to 5 MB.

How to use Unicode to Bijoy Converter

  1. Type or paste your Unicode Bangla into the first box.
  2. Read the Bijoy characters that appear in the second box.
  3. Select Copy, or Download .txt, and paste the text into your Bijoy-based program.
  4. Set the font of that text to SutonnyMJ so that the characters show as Bangla.

Supported formats

AcceptsUnicode Bangla text, TXT
ProducesBijoy (ANSI) text, TXT

Paste the result into a program and set the font to SutonnyMJ or another Bijoy font.

Limits and things to know

  • Bijoy text is only readable in a Bijoy font. In any other font it shows as English letters and symbols; that is not an error.
  • Only the common SutonnyMJ layout is produced. Fonts with a different glyph order may show some letters wrongly.
  • A few rare conjuncts are built from simpler glyphs, so they may look slightly different from a hand-typed Bijoy document.
  • Text copied back from a Bijoy font and pasted into a Unicode field will not display as Bangla; convert it back with the Bijoy to Unicode converter.
  • Files over 5 MB are not opened. Split a long text into parts.

Privacy and processing

The conversion is a plain text transformation done by JavaScript in your browser. Your text is not sent to FilesKit, which has no server that receives text or files.

Common uses

  • Bijoy-based software and print shops

    Send text typed in Unicode to people and programs that still work with Bijoy.

  • Design programs without Unicode support

    Older layout and graphics programs show Bijoy correctly even when they cannot display Unicode Bangla.

  • Official forms and templates

    Fill templates that were built for Bijoy fonts using text you typed on a phone in Unicode.

  • Check a round trip

    Convert to Bijoy and back to confirm that a document survives the conversion.

How this differs from other approaches

Word macros and desktop programs such as Bijoy Bayanno can convert whole documents but must be installed, and many online converters upload your text. This page converts text in your browser with no installation.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your browser and FilesKit has no server that receives your text.

Why does the result look like English?

Bijoy stores every Bangla glyph as an ordinary Latin-1 character. Select the text in your program and choose the SutonnyMJ font; the letters then appear as Bangla.

Can I type in the Bijoy box?

Yes. Type letters and digits directly, and use the buttons for characters such as ‡ ¨ ª © that only the Bijoy keyboard produces. The Unicode box and the Bangla preview update as you type.

Is it the same as the Bijoy keyboard?

It gives the same characters that the Bijoy keyboard layout produces for the same Bangla text, but it converts finished Unicode text; it is not a keyboard.

Can I convert Bijoy back to Unicode?

Yes. Use the Bijoy to Unicode converter for the opposite direction.

Do I need to install a font?

To see the result as Bangla you need a Bijoy font such as SutonnyMJ in the program where you paste it. The converter itself needs nothing.
