Frequently asked questions

Why does Kruti Dev text look like English letters?

Kruti Dev is a legacy font that draws Hindi shapes on English keys. Without the font installed, you see the raw letters (e.g. “Hkkjr” for भारत). Unicode stores real Hindi characters, so it looks right everywhere.

Is the conversion exact?

It follows the standard Kruti Dev 010 key layout, including choti-i (f) and reph (Z) reordering and common conjuncts. Rare ligatures may need a quick manual check.

Which should I use?

Use Unicode for Word, Google Docs, WhatsApp, websites and most government portals. Use Kruti Dev only when a printer’s DTP software or a typing test specifically requires it.
