Unicode to Chanakya Converter
Instantly convert Unicode (Mangal) text to Chanakya (Walkman) font for professional DTP, newspaper designing, and print media.
About Unicode (Mangal) to Chanakya
Unicode to Chanakya conversion is the process of translating web-standard Hindi text (Mangal/Nirmala) into the legacy Chanakya (Walkman 901/905) font encoding. This is strictly required for DTP operators using Adobe PageMaker, CorelDraw (older versions), and QuarkXPress, as these professional printing tools often break Unicode Hindi characters. This tool instantly converts your text into Chanakya code for error-free typesetting.
What is Unicode to Chanakya & Why is it Critical for DTP?
Most users finding this page are graphic designers, newspaper layout artists, or book publishers. While Unicode (Mangal) is the universal standard for the internet (Facebook, WhatsApp, Blogs), it fails in professional printing software. Legacy software like PageMaker 7.0 and CorelDraw treat Unicode as "garbage characters" or break the "matras" (vowel signs).
Chanakya is a non-Unicode (ASCII) font that maps Hindi characters to English keys. It is the industry standard for high-quality newspaper printing in India because of its aesthetic "glyph" shapes and flawless rendering in offset printing.

Is this tool compatible with Adobe PageMaker 7.0? ▼
Yes, 100%. PageMaker does not support Unicode. This tool is specifically designed to convert Unicode text into the Chanakya ASCII format that PageMaker supports perfectly.
Why does the converted text look like random English letters? ▼
This is normal. Chanakya is a non-Unicode font that maps Hindi characters to English keyboard keys. Even though it looks like "jktLFkku", once you select the Chanakya font in your software, it will read "राजस्थान".
Can I convert a full Word (DOCX) file? ▼
Yes. Click the Import DOCX button (or file icon) in the input toolbar. Select your Unicode Word file, and the tool will convert the entire document to Chanakya, which you can then export back to Word.
Is it free for commercial use? ▼
Yes. RajTool is a free utility for the Indian DTP community. You can use it for unlimited commercial newspaper, magazine, or book projects.
यूनिकोड को चाणक्य (Chanakya) में क्यों बदलना पड़ता है? ▼
अगर आप PageMaker या पुराने CorelDraw में हिंदी टाइपिंग करना चाहते हैं, तो वहां मंगल (Unicode) फॉन्ट सही से काम नहीं करता। उसके लिए चाणक्य (Chanakya) जैसे नॉन-यूनिकोड फॉन्ट की जरुरत होती है। यह टूल यही काम आसान करता है।
कन्वर्ट करने के बाद टेक्स्ट अजीब (Garbage) क्यों दिखता है? ▼
चिंता न करें, यह सही है। चाणक्य एक ASCII फॉन्ट है। जब तक आप टेक्स्ट को सेलेक्ट करके 'Chanakya' फॉन्ट अप्लाई नहीं करेंगे, वह इंग्लिश अक्षरों जैसा दिखेगा। फॉन्ट बदलते ही वह सही हिंदी बन जाएगा।
क्या मैं WhatsApp मैसेज को चाणक्य में बदल सकता हूँ? ▼
जी हाँ! WhatsApp, Facebook, या इंटरनेट का कोई भी हिंदी टेक्स्ट 'यूनिकोड' होता है। उसे यहाँ पेस्ट करें और तुरंत प्रिंटिंग के लिए चाणक्य कोड प्राप्त करें।
क्या मुझे अपने कंप्यूटर में चाणक्य फॉन्ट इनडस्टॉल करना होगा? ▼
हाँ। यह ऑनलाइन टूल केवल 'टेक्स्ट कोड' बदलता है। उस कोड को पढ़ने के लिए आपके कंप्यूटर में Chanakya Font (Walkman 901/905) इनस्टॉल होना जरुरी है।
