Good to know

  • In this font a colon after a word is typed with the visarga key, because the colon key draws रू here. Pasted into a program without the font, it shows as a percent sign.
  • This font has no key for these letters and signs: ङ ञ ृ ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९. They are left unchanged and flagged under the output box, and Word draws them in another font.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?
Every key was drawn from the New Delhi font file and read by eye, and converted sentences 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.
The output looks like English letters. Is that right?
Yes. That is New Delhi code. Press Preview (Hindi) to see it in the New Delhi font here, or set the font to NewDelhi in Word.
Some characters were left as they were. Why?
New Delhi has no key for a few characters, such as ऍ. They are left unchanged and a note appears under the output box.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

When you need New Delhi

Hindi typed on a phone or copied from a website is Unicode. Pasted into a document set in New Delhi, it shows the wrong letters. This page writes it out again as the keys New Delhi expects, in the order the font draws them: भारत becomes Hkkjr.

The New Delhi keys it uses

  • = is half त्र. i=k is पत्र.
  • Half श is on the curly apostrophe. ’kfDr is शक्ति. Word types ’ for the apostrophe key, and the Bold styles also draw श on the straight '. Both are read.
  • No Hindi digits. Numbers stay as 0 to 9.

To go back, use New Delhi to Unicode. For a document set in Kruti Dev, use Unicode to Kruti Dev instead.
