Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why should I convert Chanakya text to Unicode?

Unicode is the universal standard for text. Converting your Chanakya text to Unicode (using fonts like Mangal, Nirmala UI, etc.) ensures that it will display correctly on any device, website, or application without needing to install any special fonts. It also makes your text searchable and future-proof.

Q: What is the difference between Chanakya and Krutidev?

Both Chanakya and Krutidev are legacy Hindi fonts. They use different character mappings, meaning text written in Chanakya will not be readable if you apply the Krutidev font, and vice-versa. You need a specific converter for each.

Q: Why does my Chanakya text look like gibberish?

This happens because Chanakya is a non-Unicode, legacy font. It maps Hindi characters to English keys. Without the Chanakya font installed, computers display it as random English letters. Converting it to Unicode fixes this.

Q: Is my data safe with this tool?

Yes, your privacy is our priority. All conversions are processed in your browser. We do not store or see any of your text, ensuring 100% security.
