Please review the output. Matra order and the common conjuncts (क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र) are handled, but rare characters in very old documents may still differ. Nothing you type is uploaded. This page converts entirely inside your browser.

Your file never leaves your computer.

How to use

  1. Copy the Hindi out of your Chanakya document. It may show as English letters, which is fine.
  2. Paste it into the Chanakya box. Unicode Hindi appears on the right.
  3. Press Copy text and paste it wherever Unicode Hindi is needed. Your Chanakya document itself is not changed.

Tip:Words with a reph, such as कर्मचारी, are the quickest check that the Chanakya text came out in the right order.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?
Every key was drawn from the font file and read by eye, and converted words were drawn back in the font itself to check they read correctly. It has not yet been run on a real office document, so please read anything important before you rely on it.
My text is in Walkman-Chanakya 905. Will this work?
No. Walkman-Chanakya 905 puts its letters on other keys, and its font file has not been supplied to this site, so it has no converter here yet. If Word names the font Chanakya, this page is the right one.
Why are a few characters left as they were?
A handful of keys draw a stroke or a mark that is not one certain letter. They are left unchanged rather than guessed, so please check any you see.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

Which Chanakya this is

This page is for the font that names itself just Chanakya, the one newspapers and presses use. It keeps whole Hindi letters on accented keys, so on a computer without the font कार्यालय shows up as ·¤æØæîÜØ. Walkman-Chanakya 905 is a different layout and does not convert here.

How Chanakya is read

  • Half letters and the bar. ƒ is घ् and the bar æ completes it, so ƒæ is घ.
  • The same reordering as Kruti Dev. ि is typed before its letter and the reph after its syllable, so çã¢Îè becomes हिंदी.
  • Conjuncts on the letter keys. d is स्त्र and Q is क्त, so no English is kept as it is.

For the other direction use Unicode to Chanakya. Text in Patrika, which shares these keys, has its own page: Patrika to Unicode.
