We built Unicode to Kruti Dev Converter to save you hours of retyping Hindi text. Even so, every tool has limits. This page tells you honestly where ours stop, so you can use it with confidence and avoid surprises.
General Information Only
Everything on unicodetokrutidev.org, including our converters, guides, keyboard charts, and blog posts, serves general informational and educational purposes. We share it in good faith. However, we make no promise that it stays complete, current, or free of errors at all times.
Why Conversions Can Differ
To understand the limits, it helps to know how the two systems work.
Unicode gives every Devanagari character its own fixed code point. For example, the letter क always uses U+0915, no matter which font displays it. That’s why Unicode Hindi looks correct on any phone or computer.
Kruti Dev, by contrast, works as a legacy, non Unicode font. It stores Hindi shapes on English keyboard positions. So the letter “d” shows क only while the Kruti Dev font stays active. Switch the font to Arial, and the same text turns into English gibberish.
Because of this design, a few things can go wrong:
- Font versions differ. Kruti Dev 010 dominates, but other versions such as Kruti Dev 011 and 016 exist, and they place some characters differently.
- Complex conjuncts vary. Letters like द्ध, ह्म, and ट्ट can map in more than one way.
- Typing habits matter. Kruti Dev users often build characters by hand, for example by typing the “i” matra (ि) before the consonant. Unusual typing can confuse any converter.
- Spacing and punctuation shift. Some Kruti Dev files use special characters for the full stop (।) and nukta (़) that older documents treat inconsistently.
We keep improving our mapping tables, but no converter can promise 100% accuracy for every document.
Always Proofread Before You Submit
This advice matters most. Before you use converted text for anything important, please:
- Read the full output carefully in the target font.
- Compare it line by line with your original for official, legal, or exam work.
- Check names, numbers, and dates twice, since a single wrong character can change meaning.
- Follow the exact font and format rules of your exam board or office.
Not Official Exam or Government Advice
We have no connection with any exam board, recruitment agency, court, or government department. Typing test rules, fonts, and formats change from time to time. So always confirm the current requirements from the official notification or website of your exam or department.
Not Legal or Professional Advice
Our guides explain fonts, typing, and text encoding. They do not give legal, financial, or professional advice. For those matters, please consult a qualified expert.
No Liability
You use our tools at your own risk. We accept no responsibility for any loss, damage, missed deadline, rejected application, or other harm that comes from relying on our tools or content. Our Terms and Conditions explain this in more detail.
Fonts and Trademarks
“Kruti Dev” and all other font names belong to their respective owners. We have no affiliation with, endorsement from, or sponsorship by the creators of Kruti Dev. We also have no link with the Unicode Consortium. We use these names only to describe what our tool does.
Moreover, we do not sell any font. If you need to install Kruti Dev, please get it from a trusted and legal source, or from the official resources your exam or office recommends.
Advertising Disclosure
We show ads through Google AdSense to keep our tools free for everyone. Google, not us, chooses most of the ads you see. An ad on our site does not mean we recommend or endorse that product or service.

At present, we do not use affiliate links. If we add them in the future, for example to a typing course or keyboard we genuinely recommend, we will clearly label them, and we will update this page first.
External Links
We sometimes link to outside resources, like the Unicode Consortium’s Devanagari chart, to help you learn more. We do not control those websites, so we cannot vouch for their accuracy or availability.
