How to convert Unicode to Krutidev

  1. Paste or type your Unicode Hindi text in the top box.
  2. The Kruti Dev 010 text appears below at once (it looks like English letters, for example भारत → Hkkjr).
  3. Copy it, or download it as a .txt file.
  4. In Word or PageMaker, paste it and set the font to Kruti Dev 010.

Tips for best results

  • If the output looks like random letters, that is expected: Kruti Dev is a font trick. It turns into Hindi only when the Kruti Dev 010 font is selected.
  • Typing new text? Use English to Hindi typing first, then convert here. That is faster than learning the Remington layout.
  • Mangal to Krutidev and Unicode to Kruti Dev 010 are the same thing: Mangal is simply a Unicode font.
  • Check names with rare conjuncts after converting; Kruti Dev has no glyph for a few combinations, which then appear with a visible halant (्).

Frequently asked questions

Why do offices still ask for Kruti Dev?

Many government offices, courts and printers built their templates and typing tests around Kruti Dev 010 before Unicode Hindi was common. The font maps Hindi shapes onto English keys, so the files only look right with that font installed.

Is the conversion accurate?

It follows the standard Kruti Dev 010 character table, including the reordering of the short i matra and the reph, and it is tested both ways (Unicode → Kruti Dev → Unicode gives back the same text). Proofread proper names, as with any font conversion.

Why does the result look like English letters?

Kruti Dev stores Hindi as Latin characters. Select the Kruti Dev 010 font in your editor and the same characters display as Hindi. If the font is installed on this device, the output box already shows it.

Where do I get the Kruti Dev 010 font?

Offices that require it usually provide it. Install the .ttf file on your computer (right-click → Install) and it appears in Word's font list.

Can I convert it back later?

Yes. Use our Krutidev to Unicode converter to turn Kruti Dev text into normal Hindi that works in email, websites and phones.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The conversion is a small program running in your browser, so even confidential court or office text stays on your device.
