How Kruti Dev 010 Stores Hindi: A Key Reference
Kruti Dev 010 does not store Hindi letters. Instead, it stores ordinary keyboard keys, and the font draws them as Hindi. Most keys map one to one, but a few special keys cause almost every conversion error. Here they are, with real examples:
| Key | What it types | Kruti Dev 010 | Unicode result |
|---|---|---|---|
| f | The ि sign, typed before its letter | fgUnh | हिन्दी |
| Z | The र् on top (reph), typed after its letter | /keZ | धर्म |
| k | The ा sign | Hkkjr | भारत |
| S | The ै sign | gSA | है। |
| kS | The ौ sign | pkSFkk | चौथा |
| a and ¡ | Anusvara (ं) and chandrabindu (ँ) | pk¡n | चाँद |
| + | The nukta dot below | i<+kbZ | पढ़ाई |
| ~ | Halant, which makes a half letter | iV~Vh | पट्टी |
| % | Visarga (ः) | nq%[k | दुःख |
| { = K J | Conjuncts क्ष्, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र | {ks= | क्षेत्र |
| ƒ „ … | Hindi digits | ƒ„… | १२३ |
| A | Full stop (।) | gSA | है। |
The first two rows explain why simple find and replace never works. In Kruti Dev, you type ि before the consonant and र् after the whole syllable, while Unicode stores both in the opposite order. Our converter reads each syllable as a unit, so it puts them back in the right place, even inside conjuncts like स्थिति (fLFkfr). For every key on the keyboard, see our Kruti Dev keyboard layout chart.
