Features explained
Instant Boishakhi → Unicode Conversion
Paste text and get Unicode output instantly. Handles the complete Boishakhi character set including vowel signs, conjuncts, and special characters.
Fixes Character Order Automatically
Boishakhi types vowel signs before consonants; Unicode stores them after. The converter reorders everything without manual editing.
Handles Complex Conjuncts
Supports ready-made conjuncts and compound clusters that need special positioning and reordering.
Browser-Only Processing
All conversion happens in your browser. Your text never touches a server or gets stored anywhere.
Handles Vowel Combinations
Automatically combines vowel signs (ে + া → ো, ে + ৗ → ৌ) to produce correct Unicode diacritics.
What can you use it for?
Rescue Old Boishakhi Documents
Convert Word documents, emails, or archived text typed in Boishakhi font to searchable Unicode text.
Fix Broken Website Archives
Restore Boishakhi text from archived websites or old CMS backups that now display as garbled characters.
Enable Modern Keyboard Compatibility
Convert Boishakhi text so it works with Avro, Google Input, and other Unicode-based Bangla keyboards.
Prepare Content for Search Engines
Boishakhi text is not searchable (font-encoded visually). Unicode conversion makes it indexable.
Digitize Legacy Documents
Convert scanned or manually typed Boishakhi documents before the font becomes obsolete.

Security
This tool does not connect to any external server. All processing happens in your browser using standard JavaScript. No data is transmitted over the internet, logged, or stored in a database.

Your text remains completely private. The conversion happens on your device and nothing is sent to external servers. We do not track, store, access, or share your converted text.
Tips
- Copy the output text immediately after conversion — it is not saved.
- If conversion looks imperfect, check if the original document mixed multiple ANSI fonts.
- Paste converted text into Google Docs to verify it displays correctly on different devices.
- For very old documents, verify the original file used the Boishakhi font, not Bijoy or SutonnyMJ.
- Bulk conversions: convert documents one at a time and save results in a folder.
Frequently asked questions
What is Boishakhi and how is it different from Bijoy or SutonnyMJ?
Boishakhi is a separate legacy ANSI-based Bangla keyboard layout and font. Like Bijoy and SutonnyMJ, it stores text visually (how it looks on screen) rather than logically (how the syllable is constructed). Each has its own character mapping, so Boishakhi text needs its own dedicated converter.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser and your text never leaves your device.
Why does Boishakhi text look wrong on modern websites?
Boishakhi text is font-dependent — it only displays correctly when the Boishakhi font is installed. Modern websites use Unicode, which works without special fonts. Converting to Unicode makes text universal and searchable.
Why does some text still look wrong after converting?
Standard Boishakhi text converts perfectly. However, if a document mixes multiple fonts, uses non-standard characters, or was typed with errors, you may need to manually fix 1–2 characters. Use the text editor to make small adjustments.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Once the page loads, the conversion works completely offline — you do not need an internet connection.
Can I convert a Word document or PDF directly?
No. Open the document, select and copy the Boishakhi text, then paste it here. This avoids file format compatibility issues.
Will converted text work with Avro and other modern keyboards?
Yes. Unicode text works with Avro, Google Bangla Input, Microsoft IME, and all modern Bangla keyboards and input methods.
