Convert Asees/AnmolLipi to Unicode (Raavi) Instantly

Pasting Punjabi text from old files into WhatsApp or Facebook often results in unreadable English garbage (e.g., “siq sRI Akwl”). This tool acts as a bridge, re-encoding your legacy Gurmukhi (Asees, Satluj, AnmolLipi) text into standard Unicode (Raavi) compatible with modern web browsers, smartphones, and search engines.

How to Convert Text

1
Paste Your Data: Copy the Punjabi text from your legacy file (fonts like **Asees**, **AnmolLipi**, **Satluj**) and paste it into the left input box. It may appear as English letters.
2
Auto-Process: Our algorithm instantly maps the **ASCII keystrokes** to their corresponding **Unicode Code Points** (Gurmukhi script).
3
Copy & Export: Click the “Copy” button. Your text is now valid Punjabi ready for Facebook, WhatsApp, or Email.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tip: If the output looks like squares (□□□), your device may lack a Gurmukhi Unicode font like Raavi or Nirmala UI. However, the text is technically correct and will display fine for others.

Why Direct Copy-Paste Fails

Legacy fonts like **Asees** and **AnmolLipi** use a technique called “ASCII Mapping.” They simply paint Punjabi shapes over standard English keys. For example, typing ‘s’ displays ‘ਸ’. However, the computer still records it as the byte for ‘s’ (0x73). **Unicode** assigns a unique, universal code point to ‘ਸ’ (`U+0A38`). Direct copying carries the English bytes, not the Punjabi meaning. This tool translates the keystrokes into the correct Unicode identifiers.
