About UnicodeToDevLys.com
UnicodeToDevLys.com converts Hindi between Unicode and the legacy DevLys 010 / Kruti Dev 010 encoding, for people who still have to submit or edit text in those fonts.
How we build it
- Correct order, not just correct letters. The converter moves the ि matra and the reph to where DevLys expects them and uses the font’s own conjunct characters.
- Tested against an independent decoder. Our Unicode-to-DevLys code is checked on every build by converting 732 Hindi words and 50 sentences and decoding them back with a separate open-source Kruti Dev decoder. Cases that can’t round-trip are listed on the home page.
- We say what we haven’t checked. We only claim support for DevLys 010 and Kruti Dev 010; characters without a DevLys form are flagged, not guessed.
- Your text stays on your device. Conversion runs in your browser. See the privacy page.
