JUST NODU
Kannada Nudi ↔ Unicode Converter
Paste Kannada text and convert it. Unicode → Nudi for CorelDRAW / PageMaker with Nudi fonts; Nudi → Unicode to use old Nudi text on WhatsApp, websites or Word. The conversion runs in your browser; the text is not sent anywhere.
How to use the result
- Nudi result: paste it into CorelDRAW or PageMaker and set the font to Nudi 01 e (or another Nudi font). Without a Nudi font it shows as English letters; that is normal.
- Unicode result: paste it anywhere: WhatsApp, Word, Google Docs, websites.
Check words with ottaksharas (ಒತ್ತಕ್ಷರ) and arkavattu after converting. More background: Unicode vs Nudi guide. To convert text inside a CDR, PDF or picture, open it in the NODU Editor and use the ಕ button.
Questions
Why does Kannada text become English letters in CorelDRAW?
Nudi fonts store Kannada as English keyboard codes. Unicode text must be converted to Nudi first, and Nudi text must be converted to Unicode before it works elsewhere.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. This converter runs inside your browser.
Does it support Baraha?
It is made for Nudi fonts (Nudi 01 e and family). Baraha fonts use a different layout and are not supported yet.
