Why people use this tool
Rajasthan notices and letters typed in DevLys 010, ready for online forms, email and practice sets.
For Rajasthan office files
Old notices and letters typed in DevLys 010 become text that any government portal accepts.
Same keys as Kruti Dev 010
DevLys 010 uses the Kruti Dev 010 key layout, so both read with one table. We checked it on paragraphs from Rajasthan education orders.
Short i and reph fixed
DevLys stores ि before the letter and र् after it. Both are moved to where Unicode needs them.
Stays in your browser
The conversion runs on your device. Your text is not uploaded to our server.
English left alone
Words in English, numbers and email addresses are kept as they are. Only the old-font text is changed.
Words to check are marked
If a word does not look like a real word after conversion, it is underlined so you can check it.
How to convert DevLys 010 to Unicode
Four steps, all of them in your browser. Nothing to install and no account.
Copy from your DevLys file.
Open the letter in Word, select the text and copy it.
Paste it here.
The Unicode Hindi appears while you paste.
Check the marked words.
An underlined word may be a date, a number or an English word typed in DevLys. Look at each one.
Copy it into the portal.
Paste it into the portal form as it is, or keep a Word copy set in Mangal for the office file.
What's kept, and what to check
The text comes across as it was typed. A few things are worth a look before you use it.
What's kept
Comes across as typed
Line breaks.
Each line and paragraph stays where it was.
English and numbers.
Words like RPSC and roll numbers are copied unchanged.
Hindi spelling.
Letters, matras and half letters convert in Unicode order.
Check before use
Look at these before you submit
Dates with slashes.
In DevLys the slash key can be the letter ध. Check any date written with slashes.
Colons after headings.
Many offices type the visarga key as a colon, as in विषयः. It comes out as ः, so change it if you meant a colon.
Names.
Check people's and place names, since a typing slip in the original carries through.
Mangal, Nirmala UI and phone keyboards all use Unicode Hindi, so it shows everywhere. You do not need DevLys installed to read it.

| DevLys 010 keys | Unicode | What makes it hard |
|---|---|---|
| DevLys 010 keys'kklu | Unicodeशासन | The apostrophe key is half श, and the k after it completes the letter. Read as punctuation, 'kklu would lose its first letter. |
| DevLys 010 keysfo"k; | Unicodeविषय | Shift and the apostrophe key give ", half ष, on the same key as श. With k after it, "k becomes ष. The f before o is the short i of वि. |
| DevLys 010 keysf'k{kk | Unicodeशिक्षा | The curly bracket { is half क्ष. The short i in f'k is typed first and moves after श. |
| DevLys 010 keysi= | Unicodeपत्र | An equals sign is the whole of त्र. In i= there is no half त to join. |

Questions
Answers to common questions about DevLys to Unicode.
Why does my DevLys text show English letters on another computer?
DevLys 010 uses the same keys as Kruti Dev 010, so its Hindi is stored as English letters. A computer without the DevLys font shows the keys themselves, such as ljdkj instead of सरकार. Unicode stores the Hindi letters, so the text reads anywhere.
Is DevLys 010 the same as Kruti Dev 010?
They put the same letters on the same keys, so this page reads both with one table. DevLys 010 to Unicode and Kruti Dev 010 to Unicode give the same Hindi.
Which font should I practise in for the RSSB typing test?
Go by your exam notice. It names the font and the keyboard layout for the typing test, and they can change from one recruitment to the next.
What is DevLys to Mangal?
The same job as DevLys to Unicode. Mangal is a Unicode font, and the copied text and the Word download already carry it.
I typed DevLys text on my phone and it came out wrong.
Phone keyboards change strings like vk;ksx into English words. Paste the text from your file instead, or type it on a computer.
