Frequently asked questions
What is a Bijoy to Unicode converter?
Bijoy uses a legacy ASCII-based Bangla encoding tied to fonts like Sutonny MJ. Modern systems expect Bangla in Unicode (UTF-8). This tool reads your .docx or .txt file, converts every Bijoy-encoded character to its proper Unicode equivalent, and gives you a downloadable file you can use anywhere.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The whole conversion happens inside your browser using JavaScript. The file never leaves your device. You can use it offline after the page loads.
Does it preserve formatting like bold, headings, tables?
Yes. Only the text content and font references are rewritten. Document structure (paragraphs, runs, styles, tables, images) stays intact.
Which file types are supported?
Word .docx, legacy Word .doc, OpenDocument .odt, Rich Text Format .rtf, HTML/.htm, and plain .txt. For .doc the text is extracted and saved as a fresh .docx; complex formatting (tables, images, headers) is not preserved in that path.
How do I get full formatting fidelity for legacy .doc files?
Add your own free CloudConvert API token in Settings. Once a key is configured, every .doc file is automatically routed through CloudConvert (browser → CloudConvert directly) for a real .docx upgrade that preserves per-run fonts, then the Bijoy → Unicode pass runs locally on the result. Without a key, .doc files fall back to a fast in-browser text-only converter that loses formatting and per-run font info. The free CloudConvert plan covers 25 conversions per day. Get a token at cloudconvert.com/dashboard/api/v2/keys.
Why does the converted text show squares or wrong glyphs?
Your reader needs a Bangla Unicode font like Nikosh, SolaimanLipi, or Noto Sans Bengali. The converter swaps Bijoy fonts to Nikosh by default; if Nikosh is not installed, change the font to any Bangla Unicode font.
Is it free?
Yes. Free, unlimited, no signup, no watermarks.
