The result is meant to be pasted into a document set in the SutonnyMJ font — it looks like nonsense in any other font, which is exactly how Bijoy text works.
The Unicode to Bijoy Converter turns Unicode Bangla back into SutonnyMJ text for print workflows, and checks every result by converting it back and comparing it with what you typed.
Plenty of presses, newspapers and government offices in Bangladesh still lay out in Bijoy, and their workflow expects SutonnyMJ. Meanwhile everything written today — a website, an email, a phone message — is Unicode. Going backwards is the awkward direction, and doing it by retyping is how errors creep into printed material.
Paste Unicode Bangla and get Bijoy text to paste into a document set in SutonnyMJ. The conversion uses the same table as the Bijoy to Unicode tool, read backwards, so the two directions cannot drift apart — and every result is checked by converting it back and comparing, with the answer shown on the page. Vowel signs are put back into the visual order Bijoy uses: ি before its consonant, ো split around it.
Built from the same mapping as the Bijoy to Unicode tool, so they cannot drift.
Each result is converted back and compared; the page says whether it matched.
ি goes before its consonant and ো splits around it, as Bijoy expects.
Characters with no Bijoy glyph are named rather than dropped.
Latin words and numbers inside the text pass through untouched.
From anywhere — a website, Word, a message.
It will look like Latin gibberish, which is correct.
Then set that text to the SutonnyMJ font.
It tells you whether the conversion was exact.
That is what Bijoy text is: Latin bytes that a Bijoy font draws as Bangla shapes. Set the text to SutonnyMJ and it reads correctly.
Every result is converted back and compared with what you typed, and the page says whether it matched. A few rare clusters have no Bijoy equivalent and are reported.
SutonnyMJ, the standard Bijoy Bangla font. Sutonny, SolaimanLipi-era Bijoy fonts and other MJ fonts use the same layout.
Print workflows. Many presses, newspapers and government templates are built around Bijoy layouts, and a file that arrives in Unicode has to be converted before it can be typeset.
