Marathi text showing as symbols? Fix it here
When Marathi shows as letters and symbols like _amR>r or ¨É®É`Ò, it was typed in an old font such as Shree Lipi, DV-TT Surekh or Kruti Dev, and your device does not have it. Paste the text here. The converter finds the font and gives you Unicode Marathi that reads correctly everywhere.

Questions people ask
Why does Marathi show as symbols?
Old Marathi fonts put letters on the codes of English letters and symbols. Without the font you see those codes. Unicode Marathi has its own letters and reads everywhere.
Which fonts does it read?
Shree Lipi (Shree-Dev 0714), DV-TT Surekh and DV-TT Yogesh, Kruti Dev and DevLys, and Shivaji. Choose Find it for me if you do not know.
Is ळ kept?
Yes. ळ and the other Marathi letters come out as proper Unicode letters.
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.
