Frequently asked questions
Why should I convert Bijoy text to Unicode?
Unicode Bangla works on phones, websites, Facebook and search engines without special fonts. Bijoy text only displays correctly with a Bijoy font installed.
My text came out with a few wrong letters — why?
Different Bijoy-based fonts sometimes use slightly different codes for rare conjuncts. The common SutonnyMJ codes are supported; check unusual juktakkhor after converting.
Does it work with text copied from PDFs?
It works when the PDF text was stored in Bijoy encoding and copies as Latin letters. Some PDFs store glyphs in a way that cannot be copied as text at all.
