How to Convert Kruti Dev to Unicode (Hindi Mangal)

Kruti Dev vs Unicode: What's the Difference?

Kruti Dev 010 is the legacy Hindi font behind most government typing tests and old DTP work. Like Preeti, it is an ASCII font — the underlying text is really English letters mapped to Devanagari glyphs, so it only looks correct while the Kruti Dev font is installed. Mangal, by contrast, is a Unicode font.

To make Hindi text portable — so it displays on any phone, website or app — you convert the Kruti Dev encoding into real Unicode Devanagari, which any Unicode font (including Mangal) can show.

How to Convert Kruti Dev to Unicode

Step 1: Open the Kruti Dev to Unicode Converter. Step 2: Paste your Kruti Dev text into the input box. The Unicode Hindi appears instantly. Step 3: Copy the result and paste it into Word, Google Docs, a website or email. It now displays correctly without the Kruti Dev font.

Does It Work for DevLys?

Yes. DevLys 010 uses the same encoding as Kruti Dev 010, so the converter handles DevLys text correctly too — in both directions.

Convert Unicode Back to Kruti Dev

Choose the Unicode to Kruti Dev direction to turn Unicode Hindi back into Kruti Dev font code — useful when a printer or DTP layout still needs the legacy font.

Accurate Conjuncts and Matras

Hindi has tricky combinations: the reph (र्), the ि matra position, the nukta, and stacked conjuncts like क्ष, ज्ञ and द्व. This converter rebuilds them correctly, so words such as राष्ट्रीय, क्षत्रिय and विद्यार्थी convert cleanly — important for official documents, exams and publishing.

Free, Instant and Private

There is no sign-up, no upload and no limit. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your Hindi text is never uploaded or stored.
