Why people use this tool
For CVs, posters and notices that the computer shop will set in SutonnyMJ.
Ready for the print shop
The Word file already has SutonnyMJ on the Bangla. English names and email addresses stay in an English font.
Type here without Avro
On a shop computer or a phone, type Bangla the Avro way in the box. It turns into Bijoy as you type.
Tables pasted from Word
Paste a table copied out of Word and each cell stays apart. Copy as table then gives every Bangla cell SutonnyMJ.
Stays in your browser
The conversion runs on your device. Your text is not uploaded to our server.
English left alone
Words in English, numbers and email addresses are kept as they are. Only the old-font text is changed.
Words to check are marked
If a word does not look like a real word after conversion, it is underlined so you can check it.
How to convert Unicode to Bijoy
Four steps, all of them in your browser. Nothing to install and no account.
Paste or type your Bangla.
Paste text from Avro, Word or a website. No Avro on this computer? Choose Type and write ami to get আমি.
Check the marked words.
Conjuncts the converter is unsure of are underlined. Compare each one with your original.
Download the Word file.
SutonnyMJ is set on the Bangla and Arial on the English. Copy works too.
Give it to the shop.
Send the file, or paste into their document. The Bangla shows once SutonnyMJ is on. If they send a SutonnyMJ file back, convert the Bijoy text to Unicode.
What's kept, and what to check
The text comes across as it was typed. A few things are worth a look before you use it.
What's kept
What comes across as it was
Paragraphs and tables.
Line breaks stay put, and table cells stay in their columns.
English words.
Names and email addresses are copied across in an English font.
Numbers.
0–9 go onto the Bijoy digit keys, which SutonnyMJ draws as ০–৯. Turn on Keep 0–9 as English digits to leave 123 in Arial.
Vowel signs and reph.
ি, ে and ৈ are moved in front of the letter, and reph after it, as Bijoy expects.
Check before use
Look at these before you print
Marked conjuncts.
Compare each underlined word with your Unicode text on the left.
English inside Bangla.
If the whole page gets SutonnyMJ, English words turn into Bangla shapes. Set them back.
Bijoy text looks like English letters until SutonnyMJ is set. We don't supply the font; the shop's computer needs it installed.

Questions
Answers to common questions about Unicode to Bijoy.
Why does the Bijoy text look like English letters?
SutonnyMJ stores each Bangla shape on an English key. Until the font is set you see the keys, such as evsjv for বাংলা. The How it will look tab shows the Bangla, so you can check it before you hand it over.
Why does my Bangla break into অ াম ার in Illustrator or PageMaker?
The app can't join Unicode Bangla letters. In Illustrator or Photoshop, switch on the World-Ready composer. In older apps, convert to Bijoy here and set SutonnyMJ on the text.
I typed in Avro. Is this Unicode to Bijoy converter the right one?
Yes. Text typed with Avro is already Unicode Bangla, and this page takes it as it is. On a computer without Avro, choose Type above the box and use the same Avro spelling there.
Is Unicode to SutonnyMJ the same as Unicode to Bijoy?
Yes. SutonnyMJ is a Bijoy font, so the text is the same. Set SutonnyMJ, or the Bijoy font the shop already uses for the job.
Why did English words turn into Bangla shapes?
The whole paragraph was set to SutonnyMJ, English included. Set those words back to Arial. The Word file download keeps them in Arial for you.
Does the shop or anyone else see what I type here?
No. The conversion runs in the browser on your phone or computer. Nothing you paste or type is sent to our server.
