01 · About the font

AnmolLipi, in plain words.

Convert the verified AnmolLipi / GurbaniAkhar ASCII layout to standard Unicode Gurmukhi.

This profile follows the MIT-licensed Shabad OS mapping and its upstream conversion fixtures. The source explicitly identifies shared AnmolLipi and GurbaniAkhar slots.

Unicode (as typed)

ਗੁਰੂ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ

AnmolLipi keystrokes (converted by this page)

gurU pRBU

This sample is converted with the same engine as the tool above, when this page was built, and matches the expected text exactly.

Who still uses it

    Gurmukhi document editors

    Text stored with the AnmolLipi or GurbaniAkhar ASCII layout.

02 · For print, DTP and typing

Get Unicode Punjabi into AnmolLipi for print and exams

Some printers, layout programs and typing-test environments still need text in AnmolLipi. This converter writes the exact keystrokes the font expects and lists any characters the font cannot show, so nothing is lost without you knowing.

  1. Paste your Unicode text

    Type or paste Punjabi text in Noto Sans Gurmukhi, Google Docs, a website or WhatsApp. Real Unicode characters, not already-converted text.

  2. Read the loss report

    Characters AnmolLipi has no glyph for are highlighted. Replace them in the source before you send the file to print or submit it.

  3. Copy the result

    The output looks like English letters (“gurU”). That is correct: the font turns them back into Punjabi shapes.

  4. Set the font to AnmolLipi

    Paste into Word, PageMaker, CorelDRAW or your exam software and apply the AnmolLipi font. If the font is not installed, the text keeps showing as English letters.

Have a whole document instead of a paragraph? The Word file converter keeps tables, bold text and layout.

03 · Output font

Set the output font to AnmolLipi in MS Word

The converted text is AnmolLipi keystrokes, so it only looks like Punjabi when the AnmolLipi font is applied. It has to be installed on the computer that opens the file.

Microsoft Word

  1. 1Install AnmolLipi if you haven’t already (on Windows, right-click the font file → Install for all users; on Mac, use Font Book), then restart Word.
  2. 2Paste the converted text. Use Paste Special → Unformatted Text (Ctrl+Alt+V) so no formatting from the source comes along.
  3. 3Select the text and type “AnmolLipi” into the font box on the Home tab.
  4. 4Before sending the file to someone else, either embed fonts (File → Options → Save → Embed fonts) or export to PDF.

Google Docs

  1. 1Google Docs offers its own font list only, so AnmolLipi cannot be selected there.
  2. 2Use Word or LibreOffice for the final file, then share a PDF if others need to read it.
  3. 3If the text must live in Google Docs, keep it as Unicode and convert only the final copy.

Pasting AnmolLipi text into Google Docs shows English letters instead of Punjabi.

What to watch for.

  • Sihari is stored before its base; pairin ra, ha and va are encoded as subjoined forms.
  • Open-top yayya variants fold to standard Unicode and produce a loss warning.
  • Asees uses a different layout and is not supported by this profile.
  • Decorative extenders and stamps without a verified text equivalent are preserved and flagged.

Checked against the Shabad OS JavaScript library, the open-source converter this mapping was taken from: 657 of 720 test conversions matched exactly. All 63 differences were equivalent spellings. Because the mapping comes from that project, this checks how faithfully it was carried over, not whether the original table is right. See the accuracy page for every difference.

06 · FAQ

Questions about Unicode to AnmolLipi

Does it preserve every Gurbani glyph distinction?

Standard Unicode folds open-top yayya variants. The converter reports that loss; it does not claim lossless archival preservation of every glyph.

Is my Punjabi text uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, and nothing you paste is sent anywhere.

Can I turn AnmolLipi text back into Unicode later?

Yes. Paste it into the AnmolLipi to Unicode converter, or press the swap button above. Characters the loss report flagged were kept as Unicode, so they come back unchanged.

How accurate is the AnmolLipi converter?

It was checked against the converter its mapping came from: 657 of 720 test conversions matched the Shabad OS JavaScript library exactly. Each of the other 63 was reviewed. No independent converter has confirmed the table itself yet. The sample on this page converts exactly as expected. No fluent-speaker review has been done, so read important text before you print or submit it.
