Anu Modular → Unicode Converter

Anu Modular is a legacy ASCII Telugu font. Each Telugu character or consonant + vowel-matra combination is encoded as a multi-byte ASCII sequence. When you type the right keystrokes with Anu Modular installed, the visual glyph is Telugu; without the font installed, your device shows the underlying Latin and extended-Latin characters.

Unicode Telugu is the modern standard. Each Telugu character has a dedicated code point (క is U+0C95, కా is క + ా = U+0C95 U+0CBE) and renders identically on every system without needing a special font.

The converter on this page applies a ~415-entry mapping table inverted from the canonical vignesh-seven/telugu-encoder open-source converter. Each Anu ASCII sequence maps back to its Unicode Telugu source, with longest-match-first to disambiguate multi-byte sequences. Conversion runs in your browser using JavaScript — nothing leaves your device.

The table covers all 13 vowels, 31 base consonants, and the 12 vowel-matra forms for each consonant. Some rare conjuncts may need manual touch-up.

• Convert in chunks. Up to 5,000 characters per pass works best. Long pastes from PDFs sometimes contain hidden formatting that confuses any converter — break the text into paragraphs.
• Proofread conjuncts. Telugu conjuncts (oththulu) like క్ష, త్ర, జ్ఞ are encoded as specific multi-byte ASCII sequences in Anu Modular. Skim the output for visibly broken stacks and fix manually.
• Watch for diacritics. Anuswar (ं), chandrabindu (ँ), and visarg (ः) are reliably converted, but if your source uses non-standard glyph mappings (Anu 6 and Anu 7 variants), output may need touch-up.
• Numerals stay as-is. ASCII digits (0-9) and Devanagari digits (० १ २ ३) pass through unchanged. If you need to convert digit forms, do it manually.
• For exam answer scripts: never use a converter as a final layer. Practise typing in the actual format the exam ships (Kruti Dev for SSC CHSL Hindi, Mangal/InScript for DSSSB and most state govt). The TypeForExam practice pages cover both.
