Malayalam showing as English letters? Fix it
When Malayalam shows as letters like tIcf kÀ¡mÀ, it was typed in ML-TT Karthika, FML-TT Indulekha or a font of the same family, and your device does not have it. Paste the text here and get Unicode Malayalam (കേരള സർക്കാർ) with proper chillu letters, ready for any phone or computer.

Questions people ask
Why does Malayalam show as English letters?
ML-TT and FML fonts draw Malayalam on the codes of English letters: I is ക, c is ര, the e sign comes first as t. The file stores those codes, so without the font you see them.
Will the chillu letters be right?
Yes. The converter writes the proper chillu letters (ൻ ർ ൽ ൾ ൺ), so the text reads and searches correctly.
Is this the same as Manglish typing?
No. This reads text already typed in an old font. To type new Malayalam in English letters, use the Malayalam typing tool.
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.
