Bijoy text (SutonnyMJ)

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

Try an example:

Unicode Bangla

Paste Bijoy text above — the Unicode Bangla appears here.

Next: try Unicode to Bijoy Converter — Convert Unicode Bangla to Bijoy (SutonnyMJ).

Old Bangla documents and newspapers are often stored in Bijoy encoding, where Bangla letters hide behind English characters — “Avwg” is really “আমি”, but only while the SutonnyMJ font is installed. This free Bijoy to Unicode converter turns that legacy text into real Unicode Bangla you can search, post, email and keep forever, right in your browser.

Because the conversion runs locally, your documents never leave your device — handy for unpublished manuscripts and office files. When you need the reverse trip, the Unicode to Bijoy Converter sends Unicode back to SutonnyMJ, and the Number to Bangla Words tool writes amounts in Bangla for the same documents.

How to use

Paste your Bijoy text into the box above — or click an example to see it work.
Watch the Unicode Bangla appear instantly below; there is no button to press.
Use Copy result to copy the converted text, then paste it into Word, Facebook or anywhere else.
If a word looks wrong, check the original spelling — one wrong Bijoy character changes the whole word.

Why use Toolsvine

Most Bijoy converters upload your document to a server. This one never does: the mapping table and the reordering rules live in the page itself, so it works offline after loading and your text stays private. It is free, needs no account, and handles the hard parts — conjuncts, kar reordering and reph — instead of doing a naive letter swap.

What is Bijoy encoding?

Bijoy is a legacy Bangla encoding from the late 1980s, built for the SutonnyMJ font. Instead of giving each Bangla letter its own code, it draws Bangla shapes on top of English letters and symbols: the letter A becomes আ, and the sequence Avwg becomes আমি. It served Bangladeshi newspapers, books and offices well for decades — but the text is only Bangla while that one font is installed. Anywhere else it reads as gibberish English.

Why Unicode replaced it

Unicode gives every Bangla letter, kar and sign its own permanent code, so the same text reads correctly in every app, browser and phone, with any Bangla font. It is searchable, copy-pasteable and archivable — none of which is true for Bijoy text. That is why the web, phones and modern publishing all use Unicode, and why old Bijoy files need converting before they can be used anywhere new.

How the conversion works

A converter cannot just swap letters one by one. Bijoy stores some vowel signs before their consonant (ি, ে and ৈ come first, so “wK” is কি), stores reph after the consonant it sits on (“K©” is র্ক), and packs conjuncts into single glyphs (³ is ক্ত, ¶ is ক্ষ, ¯Í is স্ত). This tool uses a full SutonnyMJ mapping table plus reordering rules, so বাংলাদেশ comes out as বাংলাদেশ — not as broken letters.

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.

Why does Bijoy text look like English?

Bijoy fonts like SutonnyMJ draw Bangla shapes on the codes of English letters. The stored text really is “Avwg” — it only looks like আমি while that font is active. Change the font and the disguise falls away.

Will conjuncts (যুক্তাক্ষর) convert correctly?

Yes, for the common ones. The table includes single-glyph conjuncts such as ক্ত, ক্ষ, স্ত and ন্ত, plus rules that place kars and reph correctly. Very rare conjuncts typed with an explicit hasant convert with the hasant shown.

Some characters did not convert — why?

Usually the original text has a typo, or it uses a rare glyph from a different Bijoy-era font. Check the word in the original document: if one character is wrong in Bijoy, the converted word will be wrong too. English words and numbers pass through unchanged, which is normal.

Can I convert Unicode back to Bijoy?

Yes — use the <a href="/unicode-to-bijoy-converter/">Unicode to Bijoy Converter</a> on this site. It is the same mapping in reverse, for old print layouts and Word templates that still need SutonnyMJ.
