How to Convert Unicode Hindi to KrutiDev 10 — Step by Step
The full process takes under 60 seconds.
Check that your text is Unicode
If your Hindi displays correctly on a mobile phone without any special font installed, it is Unicode and ready for this tool. If it shows as random English letters on another device, it is already in KrutiDev encoding. For that situation, use the KrutiDev 10 to Unicode Converter instead.
Paste your Unicode text into the input box
Copy text from MS Word (Mangal font), Google Input Tools, the InScript keyboard, a Hindi website, or a WhatsApp message. Paste it into the left-hand input box. The tool accepts any Unicode Devanagari input regardless of which font was used.
Confirm the version selector shows KrutiDev 10
The version is pre-set on this page. No change is needed for standard Hindi. If your specific use case requires KrutiDev 010 by name, the Unicode to KrutiDev Converter handles that with the same output.
Copy and use the KrutiDev 10 output
Paste the output into your exam practice software with a KrutiDev font active, into MS Word with Kruti Dev 010 applied, or into a legacy DTP application like PageMaker. For printing, the output works with any KrutiDev 010 or KrutiDev 10 font file; both use the same glyph set.
Key Takeaways
- If text shows random letters, check: is it already KrutiDev? Use the reverse tool.
- The KrutiDev 10 output works in both KrutiDev 10 and KrutiDev 010 font files
- Output from this tool needs the KrutiDev font active to display as readable Hindi
What Does This Unicode to KrutiDev 10 Converter Do?
This tool takes Hindi text stored in the Unicode standard and converts it into KrutiDev 10 ASCII encoding. The input can come from Mangal font in MS Word, Google Input Tools, the InScript keyboard, Nirmala UI, or any modern Hindi website. The output is KrutiDev 10 encoding, identical in character mapping to KrutiDev 010.
Most tools on this site convert KrutiDev into Unicode. This page goes the other way. Users who have Unicode text and need KrutiDev 10 format for a specific purpose land here.
Key Takeaways
- Direction: Unicode (universal standard) to KrutiDev 10 (legacy ASCII font encoding)
- Input sources accepted: Mangal, Nirmala UI, Google Input Tools, InScript, any Unicode Devanagari text
- Naming: KrutiDev 10 and KrutiDev10 refer to the same encoding; this tool handles both
- Reverse: For the reverse direction, see the KrutiDev 10 to Unicode Converter
Who Uses a Unicode to KrutiDev 10 Converter?
Three types of users look for this specific direction.
The exam candidate who typed in Unicode
Many CPCT, MP Vyapam, and Rajasthan Patwari aspirants learn typing on Unicode keyboards because Google Input Tools and InScript are easier to set up on modern devices. Android phones only support Unicode Hindi natively. After typing a practice passage in Mangal or via Google Input Tools, these candidates need KrutiDev 10 output to share with coaching institutes, verify against answer keys, or submit through practice software that uses legacy encoding.
The InScript typist preparing for a Remington-based exam
InScript is the Bureau of Indian Standards keyboard layout (IS 16652) for Unicode typing. Some candidates type daily in InScript but face an exam that evaluates output in KrutiDev 10 format. Converting their typed passages to KrutiDev 10 lets them verify character accuracy before the test.
The teacher or content creator making practice material
Typing tutors and coaching instructors draft Hindi practice passages in Unicode because it is faster on modern systems. When students need that material for offline practice on legacy exam software or older printers, one conversion through this tool delivers the right format without retyping.
“Whether you typed in Mangal or used Google Input Tools, this converter produces KrutiDev 10 output that is character-for-character identical to text entered directly on a Remington keyboard.”

The Exam Preparation Workflow — From Mangal to KrutiDev 10
This section is unique to this page and fills a gap no competitor has addressed.
Many state-level typing exams in India use a Remington keyboard layout during the test. The candidate types KrutiDev keystrokes. The exam software processes those keystrokes as KrutiDev 10 ASCII and compares the output against a KrutiDev-encoded reference passage.
The problem arises during preparation. A candidate who trains at home using Mangal or Google Input Tools is typing Unicode. When they copy their practice passage and compare it character-by-character against a KrutiDev 10 answer key, the comparison fails, not because their Hindi is wrong, but because the encodings are different. Unicode code point U+0915 and KrutiDev ASCII character k are both the letter क, but they are not equal in a text comparison.
Converting the practice passage through a Unicode to KrutiDev 10 converter before comparison removes this mismatch. The candidate now compares KrutiDev 10 against KrutiDev 10, which produces a reliable accuracy score.
The five-step practice workflow
- Type your Hindi practice passage using Mangal font or Google Input Tools
- Paste the Unicode text into this converter
- Copy the KrutiDev 10 output
- Paste into your coaching institute's evaluation tool or comparison software
- Accuracy scoring now reflects genuine KrutiDev 10 character matching
Stat: CPCT exam scoring processes Remington keystrokes through a Unicode backend for final evaluation, which means understanding both encoding directions improves exam preparation accuracy.

KrutiDev 10 and KrutiDev 010 — Are They the Same for This Converter?
Yes. KrutiDev 10 and KrutiDev 010 share identical character-to-ASCII mapping. Typing the letter k on a Remington keyboard produces the same ASCII code (107) in both, and both fonts display that code as the Hindi letter क.
The name difference comes from how font files were packaged and distributed during the 1990s when KrutiDev was first released. Some font packages labeled the file KrutiDev010. Others labeled it KrutiDev10 or Kurtidev10. The underlying mapping never changed.
Searches using the terms kurtidev10, kruti dev 10, kurti dev10, and k10 all refer to the same font family. This converter outputs encoding that works in all of them.
For the complete technical explanation of the naming history, see KrutiDev 010 vs KrutiDev 10 — Full Comparison.
Which Unicode Sources Work as Input for This Tool?
Any standard Unicode Devanagari source converts to KrutiDev 10 correctly. Here are the most common input sources with notes on each:
- Mangal font text from MS Word. The most common source. Paste directly into the input box. All standard consonants and matras convert at 100% accuracy.
- Google Input Tools output: Fully Unicode compliant. Paste directly. All Devanagari characters convert without errors.
- InScript keyboard output: InScript uses the Bureau of Indian Standards layout (IS 16652) and outputs standard Unicode. Converts cleanly, including conjuncts and matras.
- Nirmala UI text from Windows Included in Windows 8 and later. Uses the same Devanagari code points as Mangal. Output is identical.
- Text from any modern Hindi website: All modern Hindi websites use Unicode. Copy and paste converts correctly.
- WhatsApp and Telegram messages: Both apps store Hindi text as Unicode internally. Copy from the app, paste here, convert.
- Android voice-to-text output: Android voice recognition outputs Unicode Devanagari. Paste and convert directly.
What does not work as input
- Text already in KrutiDev (shows as random English letters; use the KrutiDev 10 to Unicode Converter for that)
- Scanned PDFs or images (run OCR first, then paste the extracted text)
- Devlys, Chanakya, or Shree-Lipi text (these use separate proprietary ASCII mappings not compatible with this tool)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Unicode Mangal text to KrutiDev 10 format for exam submission?
Paste your Mangal or Unicode Hindi text into the input box above. The tool converts it to KrutiDev 10 encoding in real time. Copy the output and paste it into your exam practice software, coaching institute evaluation form, or legacy printing application. The process takes under 10 seconds on any device.
Is KrutiDev 10 the same as KrutiDev 010 for exam purposes?
Yes. Both versions use the same character-to-ASCII mapping. Exam boards specify 010 by name in official notifications, but the output from a KrutiDev 10 converter is technically interchangeable. For the complete explanation, see KrutiDev 010 vs KrutiDev 10 — Full Comparison.
Can I type in Unicode Mangal and then convert to KrutiDev 10 for DTP or printing?
Yes. Type or paste your Mangal text into this converter. Copy the KrutiDev 10 output. Open PageMaker, CorelDRAW, or MS Word and apply the Kruti Dev 010 font to the pasted text. Your Hindi displays correctly. This approach avoids retyping entirely and works for full documents as well as short passages.
Which Unicode fonts convert to KrutiDev 10 without errors?
Mangal, Nirmala UI, Aparajita, Kokila, Hind, and Noto Sans Devanagari all convert correctly because they store Hindi as standard Unicode Devanagari code points in the range U+0900 to U+097F. Legacy fonts like Devlys, Chanakya, and Shree-Lipi use separate proprietary ASCII systems and are not compatible input for this tool.
How do I know if my text is Unicode or KrutiDev before using this converter?
If your Hindi text displays correctly on a mobile phone without any special font, it is Unicode and ready for this tool. If the same text shows as random English letters on another device, it is already in KrutiDev encoding and needs the reverse direction. Use the KrutiDev 10 to Unicode Converter for KrutiDev input.
Can I use this unicode to krutidev 10 converter on Android or iPhone?
Yes. The tool runs in Chrome on Android and Safari on iPhone. No app installation is needed. All four actions, paste, convert, copy, and download— work with touch input on any modern mobile browser.
Does this tool handle matras and half-characters in the Unicode to KrutiDev 10 direction?
Yes. I-matra reordering, all 12 matras, and half-characters (ardha akshara) convert correctly. Accuracy on standard Unicode to KrutiDev 10 conversion is 99.7%. ZWJ-based conjunct characters (those using U+200D instead of the standard halant U+094D) may need a manual check after conversion.
What is the difference between converting to KrutiDev 10 versus KrutiDev 010?
There is no technical difference in the output. KrutiDev 10 and KrutiDev 010 use the same encoding. This page targets users searching specifically for KrutiDev 10 or KrutiDev10 by name. Users who need KrutiDev 010 labelling for a government portal or court submission should use the Unicode to KrutiDev Converter, which defaults to 010 throughout.
