Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why is Unicode Hindi text not showing correctly in Adobe PageMaker?

Legacy desktop publishing software like PageMaker 7.0 does not support modern Unicode encoding. It renders Unicode characters as questions marks or gibberish. You must convert it to legacy Krutidev font codes.

What is the formula to convert Unicode to Krutidev?

The converter uses an array-based character map key matching system. It translates Devanagari Unicode codes into corresponding ASCII keystroke codes of the Krutidev layout.

Will the layout of my Hindi paragraphs change after conversion?

No. The sentence structures, paragraph spacings, and spellings are preserved; only the font rendering code is swapped.

Does this tool support conversion to Devlys 010?

Yes. Devlys 010 and Krutidev 010 share the same character mapping. Text converted using this tool will render correctly in Devlys 010 font.

Is my text data stored or sent to any server?

No, absolutely not. The conversion executes locally in your browser memory using client-side JavaScript. Your text remains 100% confidential.

Why does the converted text look like garbled English in the notepad?

This is normal. Krutidev uses standard English keyboard character maps to display Devanagari text. Once you paste it into your editor and select the 'Krutidev' font, it will render as beautiful Hindi text.

Can I convert Krutidev text back to Unicode?

Yes. Our tool is bilateral. You can use the Krutidev to Unicode mode to convert legacy files into modern, web-friendly text.

Does the converter support half-letters and conjuncts in Hindi?

Yes, our mapping tables are optimized to convert complex half-letters, conjunct characters, and matras (like 'Halant', 'Reph') accurately.

Can I convert large documents using this tool?

Yes. You can paste large chapters or articles; the JavaScript engine processes the text in a fraction of a second.
