Preeti to Unicode Converter (Nepali)

Paste Preeti font Nepali on the left and get Unicode Devanagari on the right, once the Preeti layout has been mapped.

Coming soon

The Preeti to Unicode / Hindi mapping is being finalised

Preeti is Nepali rather than Hindi. It shares the Devanagari script but has its own layout and its own conjunct set, so it needs its own map and its own test documents.

There is deliberately no converter on this page yet. A converter that returns wrong Hindi is worse than one that is honest about not being ready, because you would have no way of knowing which letters it got wrong. Still to verify: Preeti.

Use the Kruti Dev to Unicode converter in the meantime, or see all converters and their status.

Preeti is Nepali, not Hindi

Preeti is to Nepali roughly what Kruti Dev is to Hindi: the legacy font that a generation of government offices, newspapers and schools typed in, still embedded in older documents. It uses the same Devanagari script, which is why it looks familiar, but it is a different language with a different keyboard layout.

That matters for accuracy. Nepali uses conjuncts and vowel combinations that Hindi does not, so a Preeti converter built on the Hindi map would be wrong in exactly the places Nepali differs from Hindi. This one will be built and tested against real Nepali documents before it goes live.
