Unicode to Bijoy Converter

Convert Unicode Bangla to Bijoy (SutonnyMJ) — free, in your browser.

Processed locally – files never leave your device

Converts as you type. Nothing is uploaded — the conversion happens in your browser.

Try an example:

Paste Unicode Bangla above — the Bijoy text appears here.

Next: try Bijoy to Unicode Converter — Convert SutonnyMJ/Bijoy text to Unicode Bangla.

Need Bangla text for an old print layout, a Word template or a press file that still runs on SutonnyMJ? This free Unicode to Bijoy converter turns modern Unicode Bangla back into Bijoy encoding, so it displays correctly in legacy software — all in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

Type or paste your Bangla, copy the Bijoy result, and paste it into the old document with the SutonnyMJ font applied. Going the other way, the Bijoy to Unicode Converter rescues old files into Unicode, and the Word Counter checks your text length before you convert it.

How to use

  1. Paste your Unicode Bangla into the box above — or click an example to see it work.
  2. Watch the Bijoy text appear instantly below; there is no button to press.
  3. Use Copy result, then paste into your Word or Photoshop file.
  4. Set the font to SutonnyMJ in that file — the text then reads as Bangla.

Why use Toolsvine

Print shops and old office templates still run on Bijoy, and retyping a whole document by hand is a waste of a day. This tool does the reverse mapping properly — kars, reph and conjunct glyphs included — instead of a naive swap that would garble every second word. It runs locally, so client copy and unpublished drafts never leave your device.

Why anyone still needs Bijoy

Unicode won the web, but print has a longer memory. Many Bangladeshi newspapers, presses and offices still run Word templates, Photoshop files and old layouts built on the SutonnyMJ font. Those files cannot display Unicode Bangla at all — they need Bijoy text, where Bangla letters hide behind English characters. This converter bridges that gap: type or paste modern Unicode Bangla and get back the Bijoy codes the old layout expects.

How the conversion works

The tool reverses the SutonnyMJ mapping table. Each Unicode cluster is broken into its consonants, vowel signs and reph, then reassembled in Bijoy order: the pre-base signs ি, ে and ৈ are written before their consonant (কি becomes “wK”), reph is written after the consonant it sits on (র্ক becomes “K©”, কর্ম becomes “Kg©”), and conjuncts use their single glyph where one exists (ক্ত is “³”, ক্ষ is “¶”, স্ত is “¯Í”). The result is plain text you can paste into any SutonnyMJ document.

Set the font to SutonnyMJ after pasting and the text reads as Bangla. In any other font it looks like English letters — that is normal, and it is exactly how Bijoy works.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device, and the tool keeps working if you go offline after the page loads.

Where is Bijoy still used?

Word, Photoshop and old desktop publishing templates that were built on the SutonnyMJ font. Those files were made before Unicode Bangla existed, and they can only display Bijoy-encoded text.

The output looks like English — did it fail?

Paste the result into your document and set the font to SutonnyMJ (or another Bijoy font that shares its table). In any other font the same text looks like English letters — switch the font, not the text.

Will conjuncts (যুক্তাক্ষর) convert correctly?

Yes, for the common ones: ক্ত, ক্ষ, স্ত, ন্ত, জ্ঞ and more are written as their single Bijoy glyphs. Very rare conjuncts are written with the hasant key instead, which still prints correctly.

Does anything not convert?

Almost everything. The rare exception is a nukta letter with no Bijoy form, such as ক় or গ় — the nukta is dropped and the base letter is kept, because SutonnyMJ has no glyph for it. Ordinary Bangla, including ড়, ঢ় and য়, converts fully.

Can I convert Bijoy back to Unicode?

Yes — the <a href="/bijoy-to-unicode-converter/">Bijoy to Unicode Converter</a> on this site does the reverse trip, and the Word Counter is handy for checking the length of the text before you paste it in.
