Punjabi text showing as English letters? Fix it
When Punjabi shows as letters like pMjwb srkwr, it was typed in AnmolLipi, GurbaniAkhar or Asees, and your device does not have the font. Paste the text here. The converter finds the font and gives you Unicode Gurmukhi (ਪੰਜਾਬ ਸਰਕਾਰ) that reads correctly everywhere.

Questions people ask
Why does Punjabi show as English letters?
AnmolLipi and similar fonts draw Gurmukhi on English keys: p is ਪ, w is the kanna (ਾ), M is the tippi. The file keeps only those keys, so without the font you see English letters.
AnmolLipi and Asees give different letters. Which is mine?
They use different keys. Choose Find it for me and the converter reads the text to pick the font. If the result looks wrong, tap the next font it suggests.
Is the result Raavi?
The result is Unicode Gurmukhi. Raavi is the Windows font that shows it, and every phone has its own Gurmukhi font for the same text.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser on this device. Nothing you type, paste or open is sent to a server, and the saved draft stays in this browser only.
