About Singlish Converter
The story behind our mission to make Sinhala text conversion easier
Our Story
The Singlish Unicode Converter was created to solve a common problem faced by Sinhala speakers worldwide - the difficulty of typing Sinhala Unicode text without specialized keyboards or fonts.
Started in 2018 by a group of developers at KDJ Technologies, this tool has evolved from a simple converter to a comprehensive solution used by thousands of people daily.
Our mission is to preserve and promote the Sinhala language in the digital world by making it accessible to everyone, everywhere.
How It Works
The Singlish Unicode Converter uses a sophisticated transliteration algorithm that maps Latin characters to their corresponding Sinhala Unicode characters. Here's a simplified explanation of how it works:
Input Analysis
The converter analyzes the input text character by character, identifying patterns that represent Sinhala sounds.
Pattern Matching
It matches these patterns against a comprehensive database of Sinhala character combinations and their Latin equivalents.
Unicode Conversion
Each matched pattern is converted to its corresponding Sinhala Unicode character or sequence.
Result Generation
The converted characters are combined to form the final Unicode text, preserving any non-Sinhala characters from the original input.
