How FM Abhaya to Unicode Converter works
FM Abhaya is a legacy Sinhala font encoding used in older Sinhala documents and desktop-publishing workflows. The text may be stored as Latin characters and symbols that display as Sinhala only when the matching font is applied. This converter changes between supported FM Abhaya keystrokes and standard Unicode Sinhala.
How to use the FM Abhaya converter
- Choose FM Abhaya → Unicode for text copied from a document formatted with an FM Abhaya-compatible font.
- Choose Unicode → FM Abhaya when preparing Sinhala text for a legacy workflow that requires this encoding.

Important FM Abhaya notes
This converter targets the FM Abhaya mapping profile and compatible FM-family usage; it is not a universal converter for every Sinhala legacy font or every historical font revision. Some old documents may contain Windows-1252 characters, custom glyphs or application-specific substitutions. For Unicode-to-FM output, use a compatible FM font in your destination editor. The font itself is not bundled with this website; use a properly licensed copy. Keep your original document and proofread the result before relying on it.
