How to use

  1. Copy the Hindi out of your Shusha document. It may show as English letters, which is fine.
  2. Paste it into the Shusha box. Unicode Hindi appears on the right.
  3. Press Copy text and paste it wherever Unicode Hindi is needed.

Tip:Words with a reph, such as कर्मचारी, are the quickest check that the Shusha 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.
Does it work for Shusha02 or Shusha05?
Shusha05 has the same keys as Shusha, so it works here. Shusha02 changes four keys and has its own page: Shusha02 to Unicode.
What about English words and numbers?
With the checkbox under the boxes ticked, numbers, dates and common English words stay as they are. Web and email addresses are always kept.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

What Shusha text is

Shusha is an older Hindi DTP font that still turns up in office files and printed forms. Like Kruti Dev it stores Hindi as keyboard characters, so on a computer without the font भारत shows up as Baart. This page turns those characters into real Unicode Hindi.

How Shusha differs from Kruti Dev

  • Mostly phonetic keys. k is क, p is प, t is त, so Shusha text looks closer to English spelling than Kruti Dev does.
  • Half letters on the lowercase keys. b is ब् and the bar a completes it, so ba is ब.
  • The same reordering. ि is typed before its letter and the reph after its syllable, so kma-caarI becomes कर्मचारी.
  • The comma is the nukta. k, is क़, and a real comma sits on another key.

For the other direction use Unicode to Shusha. Marathi documents are often in Shivaji, the same font under another name: use Shivaji to Unicode.
