Good to know
- This font has no key for these letters and signs: ऌ ञ ऽ ॥ ़. They are left unchanged and flagged under the output box, and Word draws them in another font.
How DINA compares with Preeti
DINA types 145 of the 190 keys of Preeti the same way. Keys with a different letter: 10. Keys only DINA has: 2. That is why many documents convert alike in both, and why the keys below are worth knowing. All of it is read from the same key maps the converter uses.

When you need DINA
Nepali typed on a phone or copied from a website is Unicode. Pasted into a document set in DINA, it shows the wrong letters. This page writes it out again as the keys DINA expects, in the order the font draws them: नेपाल becomes g]kfn.
The DINA keys it uses
- Preeti on every letter key. Text typed for Preeti reads the same in DINA, letter for letter.
- Rakar on the backtick.
`is the ्र stroke, and च, झ, ङ and ट्ट have keys in the upper range. - Fewer ready-made conjuncts. Most of Preeti's upper-range conjuncts are not in DINA, so they never turn up in DINA text.
To go back, use DINA to Unicode. For a document set in Preeti, use Unicode to Preeti instead.
