Mangal is a Unicode Devanagari font that comes pre-installed on every Windows computer since Windows XP. It is the default font for Hindi typing in Microsoft Office, government websites, and most Hindi content published online after 2004.
Krutidev is the older ASCII-based font system used extensively before Unicode adoption. Government archives, legacy databases, print newspaper workflows, and older desktop publishing systems often store Hindi text in Krutidev encoding.
A Mangal to Krutidev converter reads text displayed in the Mangal font — which is standard Unicode under the hood — and outputs the equivalent Krutidev-encoded string. This lets you take any modern Hindi document and make it readable in systems that only understand Krutidev.
Since Mangal is a Unicode font, 'Mangal to Krutidev' conversion is technically identical to 'Unicode to Krutidev' conversion. Mangal does not use a proprietary encoding — it displays standard Unicode Devanagari code points (U+0900–U+097F) using its own glyph designs.
The formula: read each Unicode Devanagari character from the Mangal-rendered text, look up its Krutidev ASCII equivalent in the conversion table, and concatenate the output characters. The rendered appearance changes from Mangal's glyph design to Krutidev's — but the underlying conversion is a straightforward Unicode-to-ASCII substitution.
Conjunct characters (like क्ष, ज्ञ, त्र) that Mangal renders as Unicode combining sequences are mapped to their pre-composed Krutidev equivalents. The converter processes the input left-to-right, detecting multi-codepoint sequences before emitting the Krutidev output.
| Unicode Character | Unicode Code Point | Krutidev Glyph |
|---|---|---|
| अ | U+0905 | v |
| आ | U+0906 | vk |
| क | U+0915 | d |
| म | U+092E | e |
| ग | U+0917 | x |
| ल | U+0932 | y |
| न | U+0928 | u |
| ि | U+093F (i matra) | f |
