What is the difference between Kruti Dev and Unicode?+
Kruti Dev is an older Hindi font system where ASCII characters are mapped to Hindi glyphs. Unicode is an international standard where every character has a fixed code. Modern systems and software support Unicode, which is why conversion is needed.
Which Kruti Dev font versions are supported?+
This tool supports Kruti Dev 010, 011, 012, 040, 050, 055 and their common variants. All share a similar character mapping so conversion is accurate across versions.
How do I use the converted Unicode text in CorelDRAW?+
Copy the converted output. In CorelDRAW select the Text tool and paste. Set the font to Mangal, Noto Sans Devanagari or any Unicode Hindi font. The text will display correctly.
Is this tool completely free?+
Yes, completely free. No character limit, no signup, no hidden charges. Built specifically for Indian print designers by Vectonica.
Some characters are coming out wrong after conversion?+
This usually happens when the source text was typed in a different Kruti Dev variant. Some special conjuncts and half-characters may differ slightly. Manual correction may be needed in such cases.
