Kruti Dev vs Unicode — the short version
Kruti Dev stores Hindi as English character codes styled by a font; Unicode stores Hindi as actual Devanagari characters. Unicode text is searchable, works on the web and mobile, and prints correctly on any machine. If you have old office files typed in Kruti Dev, converting them to Unicode future-proofs them.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kruti Dev and why does it need conversion?
Kruti Dev is a legacy Hindi font that maps Devanagari shapes onto English keyboard codes. The text only looks like Hindi when that exact font is installed — on the web, in WhatsApp, or on another computer it appears as garbage characters. Converting to Unicode makes the text real Hindi that works everywhere.
Where is Kruti Dev still used?
Many Indian government offices, courts, DTP shops, and typing exams (Remington layout) still use Kruti Dev for official documents. That is why converting between Kruti Dev and Unicode remains a daily need for office workers and students.
Will the converted text keep my formatting?
Font conversion changes the character encoding, not document formatting. Convert the text, then paste it back into your Word or InDesign document with the Mangal or any Unicode Devanagari font.
