Unicode to Bijoy
Convert Bangla Unicode to Bijoy (ANSI) Instantly
Modern Bangla text from the web (Unicode) often appears as question marks or English characters in legacy design software like Bijoy Bayanno or Adobe Photoshop. This tool acts as a bridge, re-encoding your standard Bangla Unicode text into the legacy Bijoy (SutonnyMJ) format required for print and publication.
How to Convert Text
- Paste Your Data: Copy the Unicode Bangla text (e.g., “আমার সোনার বাংলা”) into the left input box.
- Auto-Process: Our algorithm instantly maps the Unicode code points to the specific **ASCII keystrokes** used by the Bijoy layout.
- Copy & Export: Click the “Copy” button. Paste the result into your editor (Word/Photoshop) and select the **SutonnyMJ** font.
Why Can’t I Paste Unicode into Bijoy?
Legacy systems like **Bijoy 52** rely on **ANSI** encoding, which is an outdated 8-bit system restricted to 256 characters. It uses a “font hack” where typing English letters displays Bangla shapes. **Unicode**, the modern standard, uses unique codes for every language character. Because the two systems speak completely different binary languages, pasting Unicode directly into an ANSI environment fails. This tool translates the meaning (Unicode) back into the keystrokes (ANSI).
Unicode vs. Bijoy Legacy
| Comparison | Bangla Unicode | Bijoy (ANSI) |

| Best For | Websites, Facebook, Email | Print, Newspapers, Books |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why does the output look like garbage?
Because Bijoy is not a script; it is a font mapping. The converter generates the **English keystrokes** that, when typed in the SutonnyMJ font, will visually form the correct Bangla words.
Q. Can I convert large documents?
Yes. Our client-side script processes text instantly in your browser, making it safe and fast for converting large blocks of text without server delays.
