How to Convert SutonnyMJ and Bijoy Text to Unicode Bangla (Nikosh, Kalpurush)

For many years Bangla was typed with Bijoy keyboards and fonts such as SutonnyMJ. The characters you see are not real Bangla letters inside the file; they are English letters displayed with a special font. Copy that text into a website or a phone and it turns into gibberish.

Quick answer

Paste the text, convert, and copy the result. You get standard Unicode Bangla that works in Nikosh, SolaimanLipi, Kalpurush and every modern app.

Why convert

• Websites and social media do not have the legacy fonts.
• Search engines read Unicode, so your content is findable.
• Phones show Unicode correctly.
• Copy and paste works between apps.

Steps

1. Open the tool and paste the Bijoy text.
2. Press convert.
3. Copy the Unicode text and paste it where you need it.

Tips for accuracy

• Paste the raw text, not a picture of text.
• Check special forms such as য-ফলা, র-ফলা, রেফ and conjuncts.
• Proofread names and numbers after conversion.
• If you type new text, use a Unicode keyboard such as Avro or the phonetic typing tool.

The reverse direction

If an old system needs Bijoy text, use Unicode to Bijoy.

Privacy

The conversion runs in your browser, so your text is not sent anywhere.
