What is Krutidev & Why Convert?

Krutidev (Krutidev 010, Devlys, Chanakya, Shusha) is a legacy Hindi font that uses non-Unicode ANSI encoding — each character is actually a Latin/ASCII symbol that only looks Devanagari because the Krutidev font is installed. Without the font, it appears as gibberish (Yhkh, cS'kd).

Unicode Mangal is the modern universal Hindi standard built into Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and every browser. Converting to Unicode makes your Hindi readable everywhere, forever, with no font installation.
