What's kept
What comes across

Check before use
After pasting
English words.
After a plain-text paste, give them an English font, or they print as Punjabi shapes.
Gurmukhi numerals.
੧੨੩ have no AnmolLipi key and stay underlined. The font draws the 0 to 9 keys as ordinary numbers, so use those.
Other marked letters.
Retype them in the template, or leave them in a Unicode font such as Raavi.
We don't supply AnmolLipi. It must be installed on the computer where you open the file. Until then, How it will look shows the Punjabi.

Questions
Answers to common questions about Unicode to Anmol Lipi.
Why does Unicode to AnmolLipi output look like English letters?
AnmolLipi saves Punjabi as the English keys a typist pressed on the AnmolLipi keyboard, with M for the tippi and w for the kanna, so ਪੰਜਾਬੀ is saved as pMjwbI. With the AnmolLipi font set on the text it reads as Punjabi again. Copy and the Word download already carry that font, so a result sheet made in AnmolLipi reads straight away.
Does Raavi to Anmol Lipi work here?
Yes. Raavi is one of the Unicode Punjabi fonts in Windows, like Nirmala UI, so its text is what this Unicode to Anmol Lipi converter reads. Punjabi typed on a phone keyboard works the same way.
Some English words turned into Punjabi shapes. Why?
The whole line was set to AnmolLipi, and that font draws Gurmukhi on the English keys, so PM prints as ਫੰ. Select the English and give it Arial or Calibri. Copy and the downloads already keep English in Arial.
How do I fill an AnmolLipi result sheet in Excel?
Select the names and marks in the Unicode sheet, paste them here, then press Copy as table. Click the first cell of the AnmolLipi sheet and paste. Each value lands in its own cell with the font set.
Will the output work in an Asees template?
No. Asees puts letters on different keys: k is ਕ in AnmolLipi but a vowel sign in Asees. Set the text to AnmolLipi, or ask whoever made the template which font it expects. For Asees output, use the Punjabi font converter and pick Asees as the target font.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Your Punjabi is converted by code running in this browser tab, and none of it reaches our server.
