What is the difference between Preeti and Unicode?
Preeti is an old font that draws Nepali letters in place of English ones. The text underneath is still English letters, so on a device without Preeti it looks like g]kfn instead of नेपाल, and search engines can't read it. Unicode gives every Nepali letter its own code, so it shows correctly on every phone and computer and can be searched.
| Typed in Preeti | In Unicode |
|---|---|
| g]kfn | नेपाल |
| wd{ | धर्म |
| k|wfgdGqL | प्रधानमन्त्री |
| lj1fg | विज्ञान |

Where to use the Unicode text
Unicode Nepali (युनिकोड नेपाली) works everywhere without installing a font: Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, Gmail, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, websites and every phone. Search engines can read it too, so a website in Unicode Nepali can be found on Google, while text in Preeti cannot.
Unicode fonts such as Kalimati, Mangal, Mukta and Noto Sans Devanagari all show the same Unicode text, so converting Preeti to Unicode is also how you move a document from Preeti to Kalimati.
What is converted
| Letters and signs | All Preeti letters, half letters, ready-made joined letters such as क्ष, त्र and ज्ञ, vowel signs, and Nepali digits. |
|---|---|
| Typing order | Fixed for you: the short i (ि) typed before its letter and the half ra typed after it are moved to the right place. |
| Mixed text | Words already in Unicode are left as they are. |
| Word files | Text set in Preeti, in the body, tables, headers, footers and notes. Text in text boxes is converted too. |
| Other fonts | Made for Preeti. Other old fonts place some letters on different keys, so check the result. |

Questions
Why does my Nepali text look like English letters?
It was typed in the Preeti font and your device doesn't have Preeti, so it shows the English letters underneath. Convert it here to Unicode and it will show correctly everywhere.
A word came out wrong. What can I do?
Copy the result and correct that word wherever you paste it. Words typed in an unusual order in Preeti can come out differently, so check names and rare words.
Can I type in Unicode Nepali directly?
Yes. Use a Nepali keyboard on your phone or computer, or type in English letters with Nepali typing, which turns them into Unicode as you type.
Is Preeti to Kalimati the same as Preeti to Unicode?
Yes. Kalimati is a Unicode font, so once your text is converted to Unicode it shows in Kalimati, Mangal or any other Unicode Nepali font.
Does it work for "Priti" text and on phones?
Yes. Preeti is sometimes written Priti; it is the same font. The converter works in any up-to-date browser on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac.
Can I convert Unicode back to Preeti?
Yes, with Unicode to Preeti, for design and print software that still uses Preeti.
