Kannada text showing as symbols? Fix it here
When Kannada shows as symbols like PÀ£ÀßqÀ, it was typed in Nudi or Baraha, and your device does not have that font. Paste the text here. The converter finds the font and gives you Unicode Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ) that reads on every phone and computer.

Questions people ask
Why does Kannada show as symbols?
Nudi and Baraha fonts draw Kannada pieces on the codes of accented letters: P is the body of ಕ, À its head. The file keeps those codes, so without the font you see them.
Is it Nudi or Baraha?
Choose Find it for me and the converter reads the text to tell. Nudi text is full of À and Á; Baraha text has many dots and Ø.
Is the result the same as phone Kannada?
Yes. The output is standard Unicode Kannada, the same text a Unicode keyboard or a phone writes.
Is my text uploaded?
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.
