How does this Unicode to Devlys converter work?
Paste your Unicode Hindi text
Copy any Hindi text from a website, Word or WhatsApp and paste it here. Works with Mangal, Nirmala UI, Arial Unicode MS and any Unicode Devanagari font. No character limit.
The engine maps each character
Every Unicode Devanagari character is matched against the Devlys encoding table, handling half-letters, matras, conjuncts like क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ and special characters correctly.
ि matra and reph repositioned
DevLys writes the ि matra as "f" before its consonant (not "i", which is प). Reph (Z) goes after the syllable. The converter handles both automatically.

Copy the output or download as .DOC. Open in PageMaker or Word, select all and apply DevLys 010. Your Hindi renders perfectly for print.
Why Use Our Unicode to Devlys Converter?
Most Unicode to Devlys converters break on conjuncts, reph and the ि matra. This one handles all of them correctly.
Krutidev 010 character map
DevLys 010 uses the same Remington layout as Kruti Dev 010. This converter uses the verified DevLys 010 table so conjuncts, matras and reph all encode correctly.
ि matra and reph handled right
DevLys encodes ि as "f" before the consonant. Using "i" would wrongly output प. Reph (Z) is placed after the syllable. Both are repositioned automatically.

Questions about Unicode to Devlys conversion
Devlys (DevLys) is a legacy Hindi font used by Indian newspapers, printing presses and DTP studios. It encodes Hindi as ASCII characters for PageMaker, CorelDraw and older Word versions. It stores Hindi as ASCII characters, which works reliably in older software like PageMaker 7.0 and CorelDraw that cannot handle Unicode.
That is correct Devlys encoding. Paste the output into Word or PageMaker, select all text, then change the font to DevLys 010. The Hindi text will render correctly. You need the Devlys font installed on your system first.
Both are legacy Hindi fonts encoding Devanagari as ASCII, but with different maps. The key difference is ज: Krutidev maps it to "t" while Devlys maps it to "T". Apply the matching DevLys or Kruti Dev font after pasting so the Hindi renders correctly.
Yes. PageMaker does not support Unicode, so Devlys format is exactly what it needs. Convert here, copy the output, paste into your PageMaker text frame and set the font to DevLys 010. CorelDraw works the same way.
DevLys 010 is standard for most use cases. DevLys 010, 020 and Kruti Dev 010 all use the same keyboard and character map, so the encoded text is identical. The only difference is glyph styling. Use whichever your press or client expects.
