Questions people ask
How do I convert TAB to Unicode?
Paste the TAB text in the box above or open your Word file. It turns into Unicode Tamil straight away, which you can copy, share or download.
Why does TAB text look like English letters or symbols?
TAB stores Tamil letters on the codes of English letters and symbols. Without the font installed, you see those codes. Unicode Tamil has its own codes, so it reads correctly everywhere.
Can I convert a TAB Word file?
Yes. Open the .docx file. Parts in TAB become Unicode Tamil, English in other fonts stays, and bold, tables and headings are kept.
Is my text or file uploaded?
No. Everything is converted in your browser on this device. Nothing you paste or open is sent to a server.
