- Paste it into the DINA box. Unicode Nepali appears on the right. For a whole Word file with its bold, italic and tables, use Upload Word file instead.
- Press Copy text and paste the converted DINA text where it is needed. In Word, set it in a Unicode font such as Kalimati or Mangal.
Tip:Lines with राष्ट्र are the quickest check: DINA types it as /fi6|, and the right-hand box should show राष्ट्र.

What DINA text is
DINA is a Nepali font typed on the Preeti keyboard. Like Preeti, it stores Nepali as keyboard characters, so on a computer without the font नेपाल shows up as g]kfn. This page turns those characters into real Unicode Nepali, which works everywhere.
How DINA differs from Preeti
- Preeti on every letter key. Text typed for Preeti reads the same in DINA, letter for letter.
- Rakar on the backtick.
`is the ्र stroke, and च, झ, ङ and ट्ट have keys in the upper range. - Fewer ready-made conjuncts. Most of Preeti's upper-range conjuncts are not in DINA, so they never turn up in DINA text.
DINA-A, Dina Outline and DINA27 were drawn and checked. DINA30 Outline is not covered. For the other direction use Unicode to DINA. For text typed in Preeti itself, use Preeti to Unicode.
