UNDERSTAND THE FORMAT

What Is Mangal and How Does It Relate to Unicode?

Mangal is a Microsoft OpenType font for the Devanagari script. It is based on Unicode and has been supplied with Windows releases from Windows XP through Windows 11. Mangal controls how Hindi looks on screen, while Unicode defines the underlying characters.

Mangal is a Unicode font

A Hindi character such as क is stored as the Unicode code point U+0915. Changing from Mangal to Nirmala UI, Aparajita, or another Unicode Devanagari font changes its appearance, not its underlying character value.

U+

Unicode makes text portable

Unicode gives characters consistent identities for text exchange, search, websites, email, databases, and modern applications. Unicode 18.0 contains 172,808 encoded characters across writing systems and symbol sets.

WHEN CONVERSION IS NEEDED

Why Convert Mangal Text to Kruti Dev?

Mangal is the better format for modern digital work, but some receiving systems still require Kruti Dev. Convert only when the final destination specifically asks for a legacy font.

01

Government and office requirements

Some departments, local offices, templates, and archived workflows continue to request documents prepared in Kruti Dev 010.

02

Legacy DTP and print layouts

Older PageMaker files, print shops, and established CorelDRAW layouts may depend on Kruti Dev character positions.

03

Typing tests and practice material

When an exam or training system mandates a Kruti Dev keyboard layout, Unicode source passages may need a legacy version for practice or printing.

Best practice: Keep the original Mangal or Unicode document as your searchable master file. Generate a Kruti Dev copy only for the workflow that requires it.

STEP-BY-STEP

How to Convert Mangal Text from Microsoft Word

  1. 01

    Copy clean Unicode Hindi

    Open the Word document, accept or hide tracked changes, remove unnecessary line breaks, and copy the required Hindi passage. Mangal does not have to remain selected because the copied characters are Unicode.

  2. 02

    Paste and convert

    Paste the text into the Mangal / Unicode Hindi Input box and select Convert to Kruti Dev. Latin-looking letters and symbols in the output are normal because Kruti Dev uses legacy character positions.

  3. 03

    Apply Kruti Dev 010

    Copy the output into Word or the required DTP application. Select the converted passage and apply Kruti Dev 010, or the exact Kruti Dev variant requested by the receiving organization.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Mangal to Kruti Dev FAQs

Practical answers about fonts, document length, mobile use, privacy, and reverse conversion.

Do I need to install Kruti Dev 010 on my computer?

The browser conversion does not require Kruti Dev 010. You need the font only on the device and application where you want the legacy output to display as Hindi. Install it once at system level, then restart Word or the relevant DTP application.

Is my Mangal text safe when I use this converter?

Conversion runs locally in your browser and the tool does not upload the text. Avoid public or shared devices for highly sensitive material as a general security precaution.

Can I convert long documents or only short paragraphs?

The page does not impose a fixed word limit. Very large documents may be easier to proofread and process in sections. Keep the original Unicode document as your master copy and use the TXT download when needed.

Will this tool work on mobiles and tablets?

Yes. It works in modern mobile browsers with JavaScript enabled. A phone may still show raw Latin-looking legacy codes if Kruti Dev 010 is not installed there. Transfer the output to a computer with the font installed for final formatting.

What if my text has English words, URLs, or numbers mixed with Hindi?

Kruti Dev reuses Latin character positions, so mixed English text and URLs cannot be preserved reliably in the same legacy run. Convert Hindi passages separately, then add English text back in the final document with an appropriate Latin font. Proofread numbers and punctuation as well.

Can I convert back from Kruti Dev to Mangal or Unicode?

Yes. Use the Kruti Dev to Unicode converter, then display the Unicode Hindi in Mangal or another Unicode Devanagari font. Proofread rare symbols and complex legacy text after reverse conversion.
