An Introduction to Unicode to KrutiDev Conversion
While Unicode is the modern standard for digital text, there are still specific scenarios where converting back to a legacy font like KrutiDev is necessary. This is particularly common in the design and printing industry, where older software or workflows are still in use. Our Unicode to KrutiDev Converter is a specialized tool designed to handle this reverse conversion, transforming standard Hindi Unicode text (like that from Mangal font) into the legacy KrutiDev 010 format.
Why Convert from Unicode to KrutiDev?
The primary reason for this conversion is compatibility. Many desktop publishing (DTP) applications, such as older versions of Adobe PageMaker, CorelDRAW, or QuarkXPress, were not built with native Unicode support for complex scripts like Devanagari. These programs rely on specific font encodings to render Hindi text correctly. If a designer or print operator needs to work with Hindi text in such an environment, they must first convert it from the universal Unicode standard back into the legacy KrutiDev format that their software understands.
Understanding the Output
After conversion, the text in the result box may look like a random jumble of English characters and symbols. This is normal and expected. This "garbled" text is the KrutiDev encoding. When you copy this text and paste it into an application where the font is set to 'Kruti Dev 010', it will render correctly as Hindi characters. The tool essentially maps each Unicode character to its corresponding key position in the KrutiDev font layout.
How to Use Our Unicode to KrutiDev Converter
Our tool simplifies the reverse conversion process. Follow these steps to convert your text:
- Step 1: Paste Your Unicode Text: Copy your standard Hindi Unicode text and paste it into the left-hand box labeled "Mangal Unicode Text."
- Step 2: Click the Convert Button: Press the blue "Convert" button. The tool will instantly process your text.
- Step 3: Get Your KrutiDev Result: The converted legacy text will appear in the right-hand box. Remember, it will likely appear as garbled English text in your browser.
- Step 4: Copy and Use in DTP Software: Click the "Copy Result" button. Open your design or publishing software (e.g., CorelDRAW, PageMaker), create a text box, paste the copied text, and then select "Kruti Dev 010" from the font list. The text will now display correctly in Hindi.
