Punjabi is written in Gurmukhi or in Shahmukhi; this page outputs Gurmukhi. Long vowels use doubled letters and aspirated consonants add an h, and the result is portable Unicode.
Frequently asked questions
Does this output Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi?
It outputs Gurmukhi, the script used for Punjabi in India. It does not produce the Perso-Arabic Shahmukhi script.
How are aspirated consonants typed?
Add an h after the consonant, so kh and gh give the breathier letters.
Will the Gurmukhi display without a font?
Yes. It is Unicode, so it shows correctly in modern apps and phones without installing a font.
