When you need Ruchi
Hindi typed on a phone or copied from a website is Unicode. Pasted into a document set in Ruchi, it shows the wrong letters. This page writes it out again as the keys Ruchi expects, in the order the font draws them: भारत becomes Hkkjr.
The Ruchi keys it uses
- The number keys are Hindi digits.
2024shows as २०२४ in Ruchi, so numbers are converted too, not kept. - ष्ट on one key.
jkþzis राष्ट्र. - ळ has a key (
”), which Kruti Dev lacks.
To go back, use Ruchi to Unicode. For a document set in Kruti Dev, use Unicode to Kruti Dev instead.
