About this tool
KrutiDev is a pre-Unicode Hindi font: it stores English letters and only looks like Hindi when that exact font is installed. Paste it anywhere else and you get gibberish like “fgUnh”. Unicode (the Mangal font on Windows) stores real Hindi letters that work everywhere.
The converter handles KrutiDev's quirks: the ि sign typed before its letter, the reph (र्) typed after, and the half letters. Unicode → KrutiDev is useful for government typing tests and offices that still require KrutiDev 010.
हिंदी में मदद
कृतिदेव 010 फ़ॉन्ट में लिखा टेक्स्ट दूसरे कंप्यूटर पर “Hkkjr” जैसा दिखता है। यह टूल उसे यूनिकोड (मंगल) हिंदी में बदलता है, और यूनिकोड को कृतिदेव में भी, जो सरकारी टाइपिंग टेस्ट में काम आता है।
Questions
What's the difference between KrutiDev and Mangal?
KrutiDev is a font that maps Hindi shapes onto English keys; Mangal is a Unicode font that stores real Hindi characters. Unicode text works on every device; KrutiDev only shows correctly with the KrutiDev font installed.
Which KrutiDev version is supported?
KrutiDev 010, the version used by government offices and typing exams. Other KrutiDev numbers use nearly the same mapping.
Some conjunct letters look wrong. Why?
A few rare conjuncts have different glyphs in different KrutiDev files. Common text converts correctly; check rare conjuncts by eye.
