Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?
Every key was drawn from the Preeti font file and read by eye, and the result was cross-checked against an independent Preeti table. It has not yet been run on a real office document, so please read anything important before you rely on it.
Will my English words survive?
Only web and email addresses are kept as they are. Preeti uses every key on the keyboard for Nepali, so an English-looking word in Preeti text is usually Nepali: of is या and an is बल. Converting everything is the only safe choice.
Does this work for Kantipur or Sagarmatha?
No. Those are separate Nepali fonts with their own layouts. This page is for Preeti only.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, and the page keeps working offline after it has loaded once.

What Preeti text is

Preeti is to Nepali what Kruti Dev is to Hindi: the font a generation of government offices, newspapers and schools typed in. It does not store Nepali at all. It stores English keyboard characters and draws Nepali letters on top of them, 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.

What the conversion has to get right

  • The number keys are letters. In Preeti 3/ is घर and 6 is ट. The digits live on the shifted row instead, so @)@$ is २०२४. That is why this page has no "keep numbers" box.
  • The i-matra and the reph. ि is typed before its letter and the reph after its syllable, so sd{rf/L has to be reordered into कर्मचारी.
  • Vowels built from pieces. आ is cf, ओ is cf] and ई is O{. Each one is read as a single letter.

Going the other way? Use Unicode to Preeti. If the text is going to a Hindi office that works in Kruti Dev, use Preeti to Kruti Dev.
