Converting Kruti Dev to Unicode

This tool converts Devanagari text from the older Kruti Dev layout into Unicode.

Only as Unicode can the text be searched, shown on web pages and read on mobile devices without a special font.

How to use it

Paste the Kruti Dev text and copy the result. It should then be readable without any special font installed.

Check conjunct characters and unusual symbols: that is where discrepancies are most likely to appear.

What it is useful for

Useful when bringing older documents into current systems — for instance putting archived text onto a website.

Unicode is today's basis for text processing, so converting once saves recurring display problems later.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some characters wrong?

Kruti Dev and Unicode map characters differently. Conjuncts and rare symbols need checking afterwards.

Do I need a special font for the result?

No. Unicode text displays on current systems without one.

Can I reverse the process?

Yes, with the tool that converts Unicode to Kruti Dev.
