How Bangla letters are built
Bangla is written in Bengali. Every consonant carries a short a sound. A vowel after it becomes a small sign around the letter, and two consonants with no vowel between them join into one shape.
| অo | আa | ইi | ঈI | উu | ঊU | ঋrri | এe | ঐOI | ওO | ঔOU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ক | কা | কি | কী | কু | কূ | কৃ | কে | কৈ | কো | কৌ |
The vowel signs ি ে ৈ are drawn before the consonant but said after it. In Bangla, র before another consonant is drawn on top of it (the reph) (ধর্ম). Unicode stores letters in the order they are said, but old fonts such as Bijoy stored them in the order they are drawn, which is why old documents turn into a jumble without the font.

Good to know
- Backspace removes one sign at a time.
- InScript is the layout that comes with Windows and phones: vowels on the left of the keyboard, consonants on the right, signs typed after the letter.
- Bijoy is the keyboard most Bangla typists learnt: j is ক, f is া, and g joins two letters. ি, ে and ৈ are typed before their letter.
- On a phone, the phone's own keyboard stays hidden so the keys have room. Tick Use phone keyboard too to bring it back.
