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.
The output looks like random English letters. Is that a bug?
No, that is what Preeti text is. It becomes Nepali once the font is applied. Press Preview (Nepali) to see it in Preeti here, or set the font to Preeti in Word.
Some characters were left as they were. Why?
Preeti has no key for a few characters, such as ळ. They are left unchanged and a note appears under the output box.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. The conversion happens in your browser.

When you need Preeti

Many offices, printing presses and older forms in Nepal still expect Preeti. Text typed on a phone, on the Windows Nepali keyboard or copied from a website is Unicode, and pasting it into a Preeti document gives the wrong letters. This page writes the Unicode out again as the keys Preeti expects, in the order the font draws them.

What changes on the way

  • ि moves in front of its letter, and the reph moves after its syllable, because that is how Preeti draws them.
  • Digits become Preeti digits. Preeti has no ordinary 0 to 9, since those keys are letters, so 2024 is written @)@$, which the font shows as २०२४.
  • Straight quotes become curly ones. In Preeti the ' and " keys are ु and ू.

For the reverse direction, use Preeti to Unicode. For Hindi work in Kruti Dev, use Unicode to Kruti Dev instead.
