Unicode to Bijoy Converter — Fast, Accurate & Free
This tool converts Bangla text between Unicode and Bijoy ANSI encoding — right inside your browser, in real time. Whether you're a journalist preparing a print layout, a student working on a Bangla assignment, or a designer typesetting a book, the output is ready in seconds.
Most websites and modern apps use Unicode. But many newsrooms, publishing houses, and government offices across Bangladesh still run on Bijoy fonts. Paste your text into the input box above, choose your direction, and get your result instantly — no download, no account needed.
What is Unicode Encoding?
Unicode is the global standard for digital text. Every Bangla character has a unique code point that displays consistently across all devices, operating systems, and browsers.
Where it's used
- Websites, blogs, and news portals
- Email and messaging apps
- Mobile keyboards (Avro, Ridmik, etc.)
- Google Docs and modern Word
- Social media platforms
Text typed in Unicode looks the same everywhere — that's why it's the default for all modern Bangla input.
What is Bijoy Encoding?
Bijoy is an ANSI-based Bangla typing system built for desktop publishing. It works through font substitution — keyboard keys map to Bangla glyphs only when a Bijoy-compatible font is active.
Where it's still used
- Newspaper typesetting and layout
- Book and magazine publishing
- Government printing offices
- Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress
- Legacy word-processing workflows
Without the right Bijoy font installed, Bijoy text appears as Latin characters — which is why switching formats matters.

Unicode vs Bijoy — The Key Difference
How Unicode works
Every Bangla character has a unique Unicode code point — "ক" is U+0995 everywhere, on Android, iOS, Windows, and the web. Text from Avro Keyboard, Ridmik, or any modern Bangla input method is Unicode by default.
How Bijoy works
Bijoy maps standard keyboard keys to Bangla glyphs through specific fonts. Internally "ক" might be stored as "K" — but it only displays correctly when a Bijoy font is active. Without that font, you see garbled Latin text.
Why conversion is necessary
The two systems are incompatible. Copying Bijoy text into a Unicode environment — or vice versa — produces unreadable output. A reliable converter handles the full mapping including vowels, consonants, matras, hasanta, Bangla numerals, and punctuation. Read more about Bangla encoding on Wikipedia.

- Newspaper journalists and sub-editors preparing print layouts
