Chanakya to Unicode Converter
Convert legacy Chanakya Hindi text into Unicode Devanagari for modern documents and websites.
How Chanakya to Unicode Converter works
Chanakya is a legacy Hindi font encoding used in older publishing and desktop-publishing documents. Text copied from a Chanakya-formatted document may appear as Latin letters and symbols until the compatible font is applied. This converter changes between the supported Chanakya legacy mapping and Unicode Devanagari.
How to use the Chanakya converter
- Choose Chanakya → Unicode for text copied from a document formatted with the supported Chanakya font profile.
- Choose Unicode → Chanakya to prepare Hindi text for a compatible legacy-font workflow.
- Paste the text, select the direction and convert.
- Review half-ra, conjuncts, vowel signs, punctuation and digits before using the result.

Important Chanakya notes
This converter uses the Chanakya mapping profile from the attributed MIT-licensed source. It is not a universal Hindi legacy-font converter and should not be assumed to support Walkman-Chanakya variants, custom revisions or other fonts such as DevLys. Some legacy sequences are ambiguous, especially half-ra and rare conjunct combinations. The source mapping also converts some legacy digit forms to Latin digits. Keep your original document and proofread the output.
