About Chanakya text
Chanakya is a newspaper and magazine font family. Unlike Kruti Dev, it uses the accented letters on the high codes, so its text looks like ÖæÚÌ rather than English words.
Many full letters in Chanakya are drawn as a half letter plus an upright stroke, and some letters need a small spacer after them. The converter joins these back into proper Unicode letters.
Also known as: Chanakya, Chankya, Chanakya Normal. Uses the same keys as Walkman-Chanakya.

Why does Chanakya text look like English letters or symbols?
Chanakya stores Hindi letters on the codes of English letters and symbols. Without the font you see those codes. Unicode Hindi has its own codes, so it reads correctly everywhere.

Yes. Open the .docx file. Parts in Chanakya become Unicode Hindi, English in other fonts stays, and bold, tables and headings are kept.

No. Everything runs in your browser on this device. Nothing you type, paste or open is sent to a server, and the saved draft stays in this browser only.
