Features explained
Instant Bijoy → Unicode Conversion
Paste text and get Unicode output instantly. Handles the full Bijoy character set including conjuncts, vowel signs, and special characters.
Fixes Character Order Automatically
Bijoy types vowel signs before consonants; Unicode stores them after. The converter reorders everything correctly without manual editing.
Handles Complex Conjuncts
Supports 100+ ready-made conjuncts (জ্ঞ, ক্ষ, ত্র, etc.) and compound clusters like র (reph) that need special positioning.
Browser-Only Processing
All conversion happens in your browser. Your text never touches a server or gets stored anywhere.
Fixes Common Bijoy Typos
Automatically corrects common typing mistakes (double vowels, accidental hasants) before converting.
What can you use it for?
Migrate Legacy Documents
Convert old Word documents, emails, or database exports typed in Bijoy font to searchable Unicode text.
Fix Broken Website Content
Restore Bijoy text from archived websites or old CMS backups that display as garbled text today.
Enable Modern Keyboard Compatibility
Convert Bijoy text so it works with Avro, Google Input, or other Unicode-based Bangla keyboards and IMEs.
Prepare Content for Search Engines
Bijoy text is not searchable (font-encoded visually). Unicode conversion makes it indexable by Google and other search engines.
Data Recovery and Digitization
Rescue Bangla text from legacy systems before they become inaccessible, or convert scanned documents typed in Bijoy.

Limitations
- Requires copy-paste — cannot upload files directly
- Non-standard Bijoy fonts or custom character mappings may convert incorrectly
- Cannot process Bijoy text embedded inside images or PDFs
- Some rare or legacy ligatures may need manual adjustment after conversion
- Does not preserve font styling or colors — converts text content only
- Complex mixed encoding (partial Bijoy + partial Unicode) may produce unexpected results
Security
This tool does not connect to any external server. All processing happens in your browser using standard JavaScript. No data is transmitted over the internet, logged on a server, or stored in a database.
Privacy
Your text remains completely private. The conversion happens on your device and nothing is sent to external servers. We do not track, store, access, or share your converted text with anyone.
Tips
- Copy the output text immediately after conversion — it is not saved.
- If conversion looks imperfect, check if the input was typed with Bijoy font errors.
- Paste converted text into Google Docs or a similar editor to verify it displays correctly across different devices.
- Bulk conversions: if you have many documents, convert them one at a time and save results in a folder.
- For very old documents, verify the original file used standard Bijoy encoding (SutonnyMJ variant).
Frequently asked questions
What is Bijoy Unicode conversion?
Bijoy is a legacy ANSI-based Bengali keyboard layout. Each keystroke produces an ASCII code that the SutonnyMJ font renders as a Bangla glyph. Unicode, by contrast, stores Bangla syllables in their logical (correct) order. This tool remaps Bijoy character codes to Unicode so text displays correctly everywhere.
Why does Bijoy text look wrong on modern websites?
Bijoy text is font-dependent — it only displays correctly if the SutonnyMJ font is installed. Modern websites use Unicode, which works on any device without special fonts. Converting to Unicode makes text universal and searchable.
Which fonts are supported?
The converter is built around the SutonnyMJ character mapping, the most common legacy Bijoy font. Other Bijoy-compatible fonts with standard character mappings should work well. Results may vary for unusual or custom fonts.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser with plain JavaScript — nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored. Your text remains private.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Once the page loads, the conversion works completely offline — you do not need an internet connection to convert text.
Why does some text still look wrong after converting?
Standard Bijoy text converts perfectly. However, if text uses non-standard character mappings, rare conjuncts, or was typed with typos, you may need to manually fix 1–2 characters. Use the text editor to make small adjustments before copying.
Can I convert a Word document or PDF?
No. Open the document, select and copy the Bijoy text, then paste it here. This avoids compatibility issues with file formats.
Will converted text work with Avro and other modern keyboards?
Yes. Unicode text works with Avro, Google Bangla Input, Microsoft Bangla IME, and all other modern Bangla keyboards and input methods. This is one of the main benefits of conversion.
