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 Patrika document. It may show as English letters, which is fine.
  2. Paste it into the Patrika box. Unicode Hindi appears on the right.
  3. Press Copy text and paste it wherever Unicode Hindi is needed. Patrika's digit keys come out as ordinary digits.

Tip:Words with a reph, such as कर्मचारी, are the quickest check that the Patrika 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.
Why not use the Chanakya page?
Because Patrika's keys v to ~ are the digits 1 to 9, where Chanakya has half letters. On the Chanakya page v would come out as क्, here it is 1.
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.

What Patrika text is

Patrika is a newspaper font with the same keys as Chanakya, except that it keeps the digits on v to ~. On a computer without the font राजस्थान shows up as ÚæÁSÍæÙ. This page turns those characters into Unicode Hindi.

Everything else reads as in Chanakya: half letters completed by the bar æ, ि before its letter and the reph after its syllable. For the other direction use Unicode to Patrika, and for Chanakya text use Chanakya to Unicode.
