InPage to Unicode
Convert InPage to Unicode Instantly
Pasting Urdu text directly from InPage to Facebook or WhatsApp often results in unreadable garbage symbols. This tool acts as a bridge, re-encoding your legacy text into standard Unicode (UTF-8) compatible with the modern web, smartphones, and Microsoft Word.
How to Convert Text
- Paste Your Data: Copy the text from your InPage document (.inp) and paste it into the left input box above. It may look like gibberish.
- Auto-Process: Our algorithm instantly maps the proprietary InPage characters to their standard **Urdu Unicode** equivalents.
- Copy & Export: Click the “Copy” button. Your text is now ready for Facebook posts, WhatsApp messages, or web publishing.
Why Direct Copy-Paste Fails
InPage uses a proprietary 8-bit encoding system designed in the 90s, where visual shapes are mapped to specific keyboard strokes (e.g., the ‘A’ key might render as ‘Alif’). Modern platforms use Unicode (UTF-8), which assigns a unique global code to every character (e.g., ‘Alif’ is `U+0627`). When you paste InPage text directly to the web, the browser interprets the proprietary bytes as standard ASCII, resulting in “garbage” symbols. This tool translates those legacy bytes into correct Unicode values.
