Frequently asked questions
Is Mangal a separate encoding?
No. Mangal is a Unicode font, so text typed in it is standard Unicode Hindi; this page converts that Unicode into Kruti Dev.
Why does the output look like Latin?
Kruti Dev maps Devanagari onto Latin positions, so it only looks Hindi once a Kruti Dev font is applied.
Which Kruti Dev does it target?
It targets common Kruti Dev mappings such as Kruti Dev 010; spot-check unusual conjuncts after converting.
