Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about typing and converting Sinhala.
What is a Sinhala Unicode Converter?
It is a tool that turns Sinhala typed with English letters (often called Singlish) into Sinhala Unicode text. Unicode is the standard way computers store Sinhala, so the result displays correctly on phones, computers, websites and social media without installing any special font.
How do I type Sinhala using English letters?
Type each word the way it sounds. Double a vowel to make it long (aa gives ා), use dh and th for ද and ත, and use \n for ං. For example, mama gedhara yanavaa becomes මම ගෙදර යනවා. The full key chart in the How to Use section lists every letter.
Is this Sinhala Unicode Converter free?
Yes. It is completely free to use, with no sign-up and no limits on how much text you convert.
Can I use Sinhala Unicode text on Facebook?
Yes. Copy the converted text and paste it into a Facebook post, comment or Messenger chat. Unicode Sinhala also works on WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, email and most websites.
Does this tool work on mobile phones?
Yes. The layout adapts to small screens and the converter works in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on Android and iPhone.
Can I convert legacy Sinhala fonts to Unicode?
Yes, for text typed in the FM-Abhaya and DL-Manel fonts. Choose Legacy → Unicode, pick the font, and paste your text. You can also convert Unicode back to DL-Manel. Other legacy fonts are not supported yet, and legacy text only looks like Sinhala when the matching font is applied in your editor.
Can I use this tool without an internet connection?
Partly. All conversion happens inside your browser, so once the page has loaded it keeps working even if your connection drops. You do need to be online to open the page in the first place.
