Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?

Every key was read off the DV-TT Surekh font file, and converted Marathi 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.

Does it work for Shree Lipi?

Not yet. Shree Lipi has its own layout. This page is for DV-TT Surekh and DV-TT Yogesh, and Shivaji has its own page.

Why do the numbers come out as १२३?

DV-TT Surekh draws Marathi digits on the number keys, so they become Marathi digits. If your file used an EN font and showed English digits, change them back with Hindi to English numbers.

Is the Marathi changed into Hindi?

No. Nothing is translated. The same Marathi words come out in Unicode.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

Which Marathi fonts this covers

DV-TT Surekh is the font a great many Maharashtra government offices typed Marathi in. DV-TT Yogesh is the same keyboard layout in another design, and so are the Bold, Italic and EN styles of both. On a computer without the font, महाराष्ट्र shows up as ¨É½É®É¹]Å. This page turns those characters into real Unicode Marathi.

What the conversion takes care of

Half letters and the bar. Most letters are a half form plus É, so MÉ is ग and MÉÉ is गा.
ि before its letter, the reph after its syllable. Both are moved, so CÉªÉÉÇ±ÉªÉ becomes कार्यालय. The combined ि + reph glyphs, as in कीर्ति, are handled too.
Marathi letters. ळ, च्या, ज्ञ, श्र and the ready-made conjuncts such as द्ध and ह्य.

For the other direction use Unicode to DV-TT Surekh. Documents typed in Shivaji go through Shivaji to Unicode.
