Frequently asked questions

Is DevLys to Mangal the same as DevLys to Unicode?
Yes, and it is worth being clear about it. Mangal is a Unicode font that ships with Windows, not a separate encoding. "DevLys to Mangal" means "DevLys to Unicode, displayed in Mangal". The text this page produces is identical to what DevLys to Unicode produces - this page exists because government forms ask for Mangal by name.
Why do forms ask for Mangal specifically?
Because Mangal is installed on every Windows machine, so a department can be certain the Hindi will render on the clerk's computer, the reviewing officer's, and the portal that receives it. It is a safe default rather than a technical requirement. Any Unicode Devanagari font will display the same characters.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Mangal is already on Windows. On a Mac or phone the text will render in whatever Devanagari font the system has, and the characters are the same either way.
How do I set the font to Mangal in Word?
Paste the output, select it, and choose Mangal from the font list. Or press Download .docx on this page, which writes Mangal into the file so it opens correctly with no further steps.
Will my English words, numbers and dates survive?
Yes. Dates, numbers, percentages, URLs and email addresses are always left untouched, and common English words are detected and preserved. The checkbox under the panels turns that behaviour off if you want everything converted.
Does my text get uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to a server, so office documents stay on your machine.

What "DevLys to Mangal" actually means

Mangal is not an encoding, it is a Unicode font that ships with Windows. So this page does the same work as DevLys to Unicode - it produces Unicode Hindi - and the only difference is the name on the label, because that is the name the form in front of you is using.

The reason the distinction matters: DevLys really is a different thing. It stores Hindi as ASCII and relies on the font to draw the letters. Mangal stores Hindi as Hindi. Going from one to the other is a genuine conversion with reordering involved. Going from Mangal to "Unicode" is not a conversion at all - it is the same text.

Why departments ask for Mangal

Because it is the safe choice. Mangal is present on every Windows install, so a department can be confident the Hindi will look the same on the typist's machine, the reviewing officer's, and the portal that receives the file. Nothing about the text requires Mangal specifically - any Unicode Devanagari font shows the same characters - but a form that says "Mangal" is asking for Unicode, and this page is how you give it to them.

What the conversion has to get right

  • The short-i matra. DevLys types ि before its consonant because that is where it is drawn. Unicode puts it after. fd becomes कि.
  • The reph. The र् above a letter is typed after its syllable, so deZ has to become कर्म.
  • Split vowel signs. dks is an aa-matra plus an e-matra and has to be recomposed into को.

Skip any of those and the text will still look like Hindi while failing search, sorting and spell-check inside the portal you are submitting to - which is the failure that costs you a resubmission.

Going the other way, Mangal to DevLys turns Unicode back into DevLys keystrokes. If your source file is Kruti Dev rather than DevLys, use Kruti Dev to Mangal.
