Kannada ASCII to Unicode Converter

Brahmavidya Digital Text Tools

Kannada ASCII and Unicode Converter

Convert legacy Nudi and Baraha-family Kannada text to clean Unicode, or convert Unicode Kannada back to canonical legacy ASCII, using the same character table.

Core conversion stays in this browser. Aksharamukha is contacted only when you select it.
Legacy KannadaNudi / Baraha ASCII text

Legacy display font: NUDI01. Copying or downloading preserves the underlying legacy ASCII text.

Transliterate the generated Kannada Unicode into another scholarly script. The legacy ASCII output is never sent.

This optional action sends only the Kannada Unicode output to Aksharamukha’s public API. Core ASCII and Unicode conversion remains entirely in this browser.

Designed for difficult conjuncts

The conversion engine uses longest-match processing and Kannada cluster rules in both directions. Conjuncts, repha, ottakṣara, split vowel signs, and sequences such as ಗಣಪತಯೇ are handled as units rather than one character at a time.

Legacy fonts differ. Unicode to ASCII uses the canonical legacy form from this converter’s existing character table. If the status line identifies unmapped characters, compare the source font and the original document before publishing the result.
