If you have studied for any Hindi-medium government exam in India — SSC, CPCT, High Court clerk, LDC / UDC, state stenographer — you have almost certainly opened a Kruti Dev document and seen gibberish. This tool fixes that in one click. It converts Kruti Dev 010 (a Remington-layout ASCII font) to proper Unicode Devanagari (Mangal / Noto Sans Devanagari), the encoding used everywhere outside legacy Windows word processors. The opposite direction is equally supported: paste Unicode Hindi and get back the Kruti Dev encoded string.
Kruti Dev stores Hindi letters as ASCII code points. The lowercase letter d in a Kruti Dev file is really the byte value 100, which the Kruti Dev font file renders as the Devanagari glyph द. Open the same file in Notepad with a Roman font and you see just d. This is why copy-pasting Kruti Dev text into WhatsApp, Gmail, Google Docs, a website form, or even most modern Word documents produces garbled Roman letters — none of those environments have Kruti Dev installed. Unicode solves this permanently: it assigns every Devanagari character its own code point (U+0900 to U+097F) that any Devanagari-capable font can render. That is why every modern tool — Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, browsers, phones, search engines — handles Unicode Hindi natively and handles Kruti Dev only if the font is specifically installed.
| Dimension | Kruti Dev 010 (Remington) | Unicode Devanagari (Mangal / Noto) |
|---|---|---|
| Encoding | ASCII — Roman letters mapped to Hindi glyphs by the font | Unicode — each Devanagari character has a dedicated code point |
| Copy-paste anywhere | Breaks outside the font | Works universally |
| Searchable / SEO | No — stored as Roman letters | Yes — natively searchable |
| WhatsApp / phones | Renders as gibberish | Renders as proper Hindi |
| Typing test exams | Accepted by SSC, CPCT, High Court, most state clerks | Accepted by SSC, CPCT, many banking exams |
| Keyboard layout | Remington (typewriter-style) | Inscript (phonetic) |
| Best for | Typing-test practice, legacy office docs | Publishing, sharing, searching, everyday use |
Yes. The mapping table below handles every common Devanagari vowel (अ, आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, ए, ऐ, ओ, औ, अं, अः), every matra (ा ि ी ु ू े ै ो ौ ं ः ँ ्), all base consonants, and the common Kruti Dev conjunct combinations (क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र, द्य, द्व, etc.) via multi-character sequences. For 95%+ of typical exam passages and office documents you will get perfect output. Rare typographic variations (specific legal characters, uncommon Vedic marks) may need a manual touch-up — rare enough that a few seconds of proof-reading handles it.
It is a tool that takes ASCII-encoded Kruti Dev text (Roman letters that the Kruti Dev font renders as Hindi) and outputs proper Unicode Devanagari — the encoding every modern app understands. Without conversion, Kruti Dev text is unreadable outside applications that have the font installed.
Mangal is a Unicode Devanagari font that uses the Inscript keyboard layout. Kruti Dev is a legacy ASCII-encoded font that uses the Remington keyboard layout. Both are accepted by SSC and CPCT typing tests, but only Mangal (Unicode) is universally readable outside typing exams.
Yes — 100% free, no signup, no character limit. Everything runs locally in your browser; we do not upload your text anywhere.
It is tuned to Kruti Dev 010, the most common variant. Devlys 010 and Kruti Dev 011 share the same Remington ASCII map for almost every character, so they convert cleanly. A rare symbol here and there may need manual review.
Yes — click the ⇄ swap button. This is useful when you want to prepare typing-test practice material in the exact Kruti Dev encoding your exam uses (SSC, CPCT, Court Clerk, Stenographer Grade C/D).
The entire conversion happens in JavaScript in your browser — nothing is transmitted to any server. Closing the tab deletes everything.
After the page has loaded once, yes. The mapping table and conversion logic are self-contained on the page.
Most legacy study material (model papers, old notifications, coaching handouts) is in Kruti Dev. Convert it to Unicode to read comfortably on any phone or share in WhatsApp / Telegram groups. You can also prepare your own paragraphs in Unicode, convert them to Kruti Dev, and practise typing them in the exact encoding the exam uses.
