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.
kis क,pis प,tis त, so Shusha text looks closer to English spelling than Kruti Dev does. - Half letters on the lowercase keys.
bis ब् and the baracompletes it, sobais ब. - The same reordering. ि is typed before its letter and the reph after its syllable, so
kma-caarIbecomes 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.
