Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Unicode is a universal character encoding standard. It assigns a unique number (a code point) to every character, no matter the platform, program, or language. Fonts like Mangal, Kokila, Arial Unicode MS, Noto Sans Devanagari are Unicode compliant for Hindi/Devanagari.
Chanakya is a legacy, non-Unicode Devanagari font. It was popular in older Desktop Publishing (DTP) software. It maps Devanagari glyphs to Latin character positions. You need the Chanakya font installed to see the text correctly.
For compatibility with older documents or DTP systems that only support legacy fonts like Chanakya and cannot handle Unicode directly.
The accuracy depends on the mapping rules. While this tool aims for high accuracy, complex ligatures might occasionally need manual adjustment in your DTP software.
Not to use the converter itself, but to *view or use* the Chanakya-encoded text correctly in other applications, you MUST have the Chanakya font installed on that computer.
