Bijoy → Unicode Converter

Bijoy (SutonnyMJ) is an ASCII font — each Bengali character is mapped to a Latin keystroke. When you type "K" with the Bijoy font applied, the visual glyph is "ক"; when you type "Kv", the rendered output is "কা". Without Bijoy installed, your device shows the underlying Latin characters instead of the Bengali.

Unicode Bengali takes the opposite approach. Each Bengali character has a dedicated code point (ক is U+0995) and renders identically on every system — Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux — without needing a special font.

The converter takes Bijoy ASCII input, looks up each glyph (and each multi-character ligature) in a mapping table sourced from Mahbub Morshed's open-source reference converter, and emits the equivalent Unicode Bengali sequence. Conversion runs in your browser; nothing leaves your device.

The table covers ~175 entries — every standard Bengali consonant, vowel, kar, conjunct ligature, and numeral. A few rare ligatures may need manual touch-up.

• Convert in chunks. Up to 5,000 characters per pass works best. Long pastes from PDFs sometimes contain hidden formatting that confuses any converter — break the text into paragraphs.
• Proofread conjuncts. Bengali conjuncts (juktakhor) like ক্ষ, জ্ঞ, ত্র, ন্ত, স্ত are encoded as specific upper-ASCII glyphs in Bijoy. Skim the output for visibly broken stacks and fix manually.
• Watch for diacritics. Most Tamil glyphs are reliably converted, but if your source uses non-standard glyph mappings (older Bijoy variants, SutonnyMJ-Bold, AdorshoLipi), output may need touch-up.
• Numerals stay as-is. ASCII digits (0-9) and Devanagari digits (० १ २ ३) pass through unchanged. If you need to convert digit forms, do it manually.
• For exam answer scripts: never use a converter as a final layer. Practise typing in the actual format your WB or BD exam centre ships (Bijoy for older centres, Vrinda Unicode for newer ones). The TypeForExam Bengali practice pages cover both.
