Kannada Font Converter — Nudi ↔ Unicode
Convert documented Nudi-style legacy Kannada text to modern Unicode Kannada, or convert Unicode Kannada back to Nudi-compatible legacy text. Conversion stays in your browser.
Nudi and Unicode Kannada conversion
Nudi is used in legacy Kannada typing and publishing workflows. Unicode is the modern text standard used by websites, search engines, phones and current software. This tool converts text; it does not convert .ttf or .otf font files.
Choose a dedicated direction
- Nudi to Unicode for legacy Kannada text that needs to become searchable Unicode.
- Unicode to Nudi for Unicode Kannada that must be used in a compatible legacy workflow.
Compatibility scope
The converter follows the documented Nudi/Baraha-style mapping and conversion rules published by Kannada Ganaka Parishat (KAGAPA), with independent historical cross-checks. It does not claim that every Kannada legacy font or customized Nudi installation uses an identical mapping.
For official, legal, academic, publishing or archival material, proofread converted text against the source document before final use.
