Frequently asked questions

Why does the output look like English letters?

Bijoy is a legacy encoding that stores glyph codes in Latin character slots. It only looks like Bangla when displayed in a Bijoy font such as SutonnyMJ.

Which fonts should I use for the result?

SutonnyMJ and other Bijoy "MJ" fonts. Unicode fonts such as Kalpurush or Nikosh will not show it correctly.

Are all conjuncts supported?

Common juktakkhor are mapped to their standard Bijoy codes. Rare clusters without a Bijoy ligature are written with a visible hasanta, which is also how Bijoy typists enter them.

Can I convert it back later?

Yes. Use the Bijoy to Unicode converter to turn SutonnyMJ text back into Unicode Bangla.
