What is the difference between Kruti Dev and Unicode?

Kruti Dev is an old font that shows Hindi shapes in place of English letters. The file actually stores letters like "Hkkjr", which only look like भारत when the Kruti Dev font is installed. Unicode fonts (such as Mangal or Noto Sans Devanagari) store real Hindi characters, so the text can be read everywhere.

  1. Copy your Kruti Dev text from MS Word or any file (Ctrl + C).
  2. Open the Kruti Dev to Unicode Converter and choose "Kruti Dev → Unicode".
  3. Paste the text - the Unicode Hindi appears instantly.
  4. Click "Copy result" and paste it into your website, Google Docs, WhatsApp or Word.
  5. In Word, set the font to Mangal, Nirmala UI or Noto Sans Devanagari.

How to convert Unicode to Kruti Dev

For typing tests or older office documents you can go the other way: choose "Unicode → Kruti Dev" in the converter, paste Hindi text, copy the result and set the font to "Kruti Dev 010" in Word.
