Common Unicode to FM Problems

Converted FM text looks like English symbols

This can happen because legacy Sinhala text does not display correctly without the matching FM font. Apply the required FM Sinhala font after pasting the converted text into your software.

Some Sinhala letters do not display correctly

Complex Sinhala combinations can vary between legacy font mappings. Check that the correct FM font is installed and selected.

FM text cannot be searched like normal Sinhala
