Unicode in, Kruti Dev out.

Some printers, designers and offices still work with Kruti Dev. Paste Hindi typed on a phone or with a Unicode keyboard, then paste the result into your document and set the font to Kruti Dev.

Kruti Dev 010 is still common in government offices, courts, typing-test practice and old DTP files across North India, because it follows the Remington typewriter layout many typists learned on. If you have Hindi typed on a phone, with a Unicode keyboard or copied from a website, this converter turns it into Kruti Dev codes. Paste the result into your document and set the font to Kruti Dev, and it shows as Hindi.

How to convert

  1. Paste your Hindi Unicode text in the box on the left.
  2. Copy the result from the right. It looks like English letters: that is how Kruti Dev stores Hindi.
  3. Paste it into Word, PageMaker, Photoshop or your design software and choose the Kruti Dev font.

Why people still need Kruti Dev

Kruti Dev draws Devanagari letters over the codes of English keys, so “Hkkjr” in the file shows as भारत only when the Kruti Dev font is selected. Unicode gives every Devanagari letter its own code, which is why Unicode Hindi works on phones, in Google search and on every website.

Old templates, printing presses and some offices still expect Kruti Dev, so text typed in Unicode has to be converted before it can be used there.

What to check

  • Unicode Hindi typed on a phone or with Google Input Tools converts to the codes Kruti Dev 010 expects.
  • Western digits stay as digits; Devanagari digits use the font’s own digit codes.
  • English letters can’t be written in Kruti Dev, so keep English parts in a separate font.
  • The eyelash ra (र्‍), used in Nepali and Marathi, has no Kruti Dev form and becomes a normal reph.

You need the font on your computer

The converted text only shows as Hindi with the Kruti Dev font installed on the computer where you open it. Treeet doesn’t provide Kruti Dev, because the font isn’t licensed for sharing.
