How Kannada letters are built

Kannada is written in Kannada. Every consonant carries a short a sound. A vowel after it becomes a small sign around the letter, and two consonants with no vowel between them join into one shape.

One consonant with every vowel sign (kagunita).
ಅaಆaaಇiಈeeಉuಊooಋRಎeಏEಐaiಒoಓOಔau
ಕಕಾಕಿಕೀಕುಕೂಕೃಕೆಕೇಕೈಕೊಕೋಕೌ

Vowel signs are drawn after or above the consonant, in the order they are said. In Kannada, the second of two joined consonants is drawn small below the first (the ottakshara) (ಅಕ್ಕ). Old fonts such as Nudi 01 e stored these pieces as separate shapes on English keys, which is why old documents turn into a jumble without the font.

How to convert Nudi 01 e to Unicode

  1. Paste or open a file

    Paste text from an old document, or open a Word (.docx) or .txt file. Nudi 01 e text looks like English letters, for example PÀ£ÀßqÀ for ಕನ್ನಡ.

  2. Check the font

    The Unicode Kannada works everywhere. Copy it, share it, or download a Word file with Tunga set. To go the other way, switch the direction.

Good to know

  • Most old Karnataka government orders, office letters and school papers were typed in Nudi fonts; many DTP and personal files used Baraha.
  • Nudi 01 e text looks like English letters (PÀ£ÀßqÀ for ಕನ್ನಡ). Paste it as it is; do not retype it.
  • Copy straight from Word: the font of each part is read, so English in English fonts stays as it is.
  • Open the Word file itself to keep bold, sizes, tables, headers and pictures.
  • Old fonts stored some vowel signs before their letter, the way they are drawn. The converter puts them where Unicode expects, and back again.
  • Converting to an old font gives text that only reads correctly in that font. The Word download has the font set for you.
