What is Kruti Dev and what is Unicode?
Kruti Dev 010 is an old Hindi typing font. The letters you see are really English keys underneath: “Hkkjr” shows as भारत only when the Kruti Dev font is selected. On a phone, in email or on a website it shows as gibberish.
Unicode Hindi (fonts like Mangal, Nirmala UI or Noto) stores real Hindi letters. It works everywhere: WhatsApp, Gmail, Google search, websites and new government portals.
Using Kruti Dev text in MS Word
The Kruti Dev output here looks like English letters. That is correct. Paste it into MS Word or PageMaker, select it and choose the font “Kruti Dev 010”. It will turn into Hindi.
If you see boxes or English letters after pasting, the Kruti Dev 010 font is not installed on that computer.
What the converter handles
Half letters (क्, स्, न्), the reph (र् on top, as in कार्य and धर्म), the chhoti i matra (ि) that Kruti Dev types before the letter, nukta (ज़, फ़, ड़), conjuncts like क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र, द्ध, द्य, ह्म, and Hindi digits.
English words cannot be written in Kruti Dev, because its English keys are Hindi letters. Keep English parts in a normal font like Arial.
Frequently asked questions
The output looks like English. Is it wrong?
