Unicode has become the best way to display many writing systems of the world in browsers. Hopefully our language is included in the Unicode. Bishnupriya Manipuri uses Bengali script (বাংলা লিপি) which is a variant of the Eastern Nagari script, also used for Bengali, Assamese and Maithili.
Now you are able to see Bishnupriya Manipuri unicode text in your mobile phone. You can view Bishnupriya Manipuri in your mobile like in Facebook or Blogs or Wikipedia.
Opera mini version 4.1 onwards supports Bishnupriya Manipuri unicode even if your mobile phone doesn’t support it. All you need is a java enabled handset. It does it via rendering bengali text in the server, rather than on phone, and then displaying.
To activate the option you just need to do the 2 steps –
Step – 1: Install Opera Mini
Visit the address mini.opera.com using your phone’s default Web browser and download and install Opera Mini
PC download link: http://www.opera.com/mini/download/
Step – 2: Configure Opera Mini
- Start Opera mini and type in “opera:config” in the address bar
- Look at option Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts. Make it “yes”
Now I believe you can view Bishnupriya Manipuri in your mobile.
You can visit Bishnupriya Manipuri wikipedia, Facebook and many other Unicode compliant Bishnupriya Manipuri sites.

many thanks dadax for the useful post
thank.you.very .much
nice to learn that unicode script is same for Bengali, manipuri and assamese.
I apologize for using the comments like this, but you seem to be an expert on Manipuri culture. I am interested in the Nupa Shumang Leela, particularly the all-female troupes. Would you have any information on them? The literature on the subject in English is rather sparse.
Thank you very much!

Hi, Ashim Shinga!
I am from Andhra Pradesh, and our mother tongue is Telugu.
By searching about how the UNICODE to enable on my mobile, I catch this your article through google.
I’ve been using Opera Mini for 2 years on various mobile phones some which support unicode and some do not.
I was able to see Telugu (web pages) on unicode supported phones only.
But, after I have done what you had said in the above article, I am now able to see Telugu text (web pages like http://www.andhrafolks.net) on “iNTEX IN 8809” which does not support unicode.
Your solution is not only for Bishnu Priya Manipuri, but also for few Indian languages.
Thank you thank you very much for writting a valuable article like this.
