Questions people ask

How do I convert TSCII to Unicode?

Paste the TSCII 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 TSCII text look like English letters or symbols?

TSCII 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 TSCII Word file?

Yes. Open the .docx file. Parts in TSCII 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.
