Paste any Unicode Hindi text — Mangal, Noto Devanagari, or any Unicode font — and convert it to Krutidev instantly. Free, accurate, and private.
Type or paste Unicode Hindi text on the left. Get Krutidev output on the right instantly.
A Unicode to Krutidev converter is a tool that translates Hindi text written in Unicode (Mangal, Noto Devanagari, or any standard Hindi font) into Krutidev — the legacy encoding system widely used in Indian government offices, newspapers, and print media.
Most modern devices store and display Hindi using Unicode, the global standard that assigns a unique code point to every character. Krutidev, by contrast, maps Devanagari characters onto standard keyboard positions using ASCII values. A document typed in Krutidev on one computer appears as random English letters on any machine without the Krutidev font installed.
This converter bridges that gap. Paste Unicode Hindi text and it returns the matching Krutidev-encoded string — ready for older systems, print layouts, and any workflow that still depends on the Krutidev font family.
The conversion works through a character-by-character substitution table. Every Unicode code point for Devanagari (U+0900 to U+097F) maps to a specific ASCII character that renders as the corresponding Devanagari glyph when the Krutidev font is applied.
For example: Unicode क (U+0915) maps to the ASCII character 'd'. When you display 'd' in the Krutidev font, the font's internal glyph table shows क. The converter replaces every Unicode Devanagari character with its Krutidev ASCII equivalent in sequence.
Conjuncts and matras (vowel signs) require special handling. The converter resolves halant (्, U+094D) sequences — combining a consonant with the halant — into the correct pre-composed Krutidev multi-character sequences that produce the right ligature glyph in Krutidev fonts.
| Unicode Character | Unicode Code Point | Krutidev Glyph |
|---|---|---|
| अ | U+0905 | v |
| आ | U+0906 | vk |
| इ | U+0907 | b |
| क | U+0915 | d |
| ख | U+0916 | [k |
| ग | U+0917 | x |
| म | U+092E | e |
| र | U+0930 | j |
Everything you need to know about Unicode to Krutidev conversion
Yes. Click the swap button in the converter toolbar to switch direction. Paste your KrutiDev text and get Unicode (Mangal) output. The reverse conversion handles all the same matras, conjuncts, and special characters.
Yes, it's 100% free with no limits. No signup, no word count restrictions, no daily caps. Convert as much text as you need.
Yes. Mangal is a Unicode font, so any text typed in Mangal is Unicode text. Paste it into the converter and you'll get KrutiDev output. The same works for text from other Unicode fonts like Noto Sans Devanagari or Arial Unicode MS.
The converter targets KrutiDev 010, which is the most widely used version in government offices and typing exams. The output is also compatible with KrutiDev 011 and similar variants in the KrutiDev family.
Yes, it works entirely online in your browser. No software download needed. Once the page loads, it even works offline — the conversion engine runs on client-side JavaScript with no server dependency.
