Converting Unicode to Kruti Dev

Kruti Dev is an older character layout for Devanagari that predates the spread of Unicode and is still used in some offices and print shops.

This tool converts Devanagari text from Unicode into the Kruti Dev layout so it displays correctly in programs using that font.

How to use it

Paste the Unicode text and copy the result. It only becomes readable once the Kruti Dev font is selected in the target program.

Check the result at a few typical places — ligatures and conjunct characters are where the two layouts diverge most.

What it is useful for

Needed when a document has to be processed further in an environment still built around Kruti Dev.

For new documents Unicode is the better choice, since it is supported by search functions, web pages and mobile devices.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I only see garbled characters?

The result requires the Kruti Dev font. Without it the characters appear wrong.

Is the conversion complete?

The layouts differ in detail. Review the text before using it, particularly conjunct characters.

Can I reverse the process?

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