How Telugu letters are built

Telugu is written in Telugu. 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 (gunintalu).
అaఆaaఇiఈeeఉuఊooఋRఎeఏEఐaiఒoఓOఔau
కకాకికీకుకూకృకెకేకైకొకోకౌ

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

  • Anu text looks like English letters (Ôî\T>·T for తెలుగు). 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.
