Is this Unicode Hindi or legacy font text?

Paste a representative sample. The detector checks Devanagari characters, Latin-code patterns and mixed-script clues. It can identify likely encoding type, but it does not guess an exact legacy font version from plain ASCII-looking bytes.

Paste a short representative sample to check whether it is Unicode or legacy encoded.

The detector reads character patterns only. It cannot inspect which font is selected in a Word file, and several legacy fonts share similar keyboard mappings.

Unicode Devanagari

Real Hindi characters such as भारत are stored in the text. They normally remain readable across modern systems without installing a matching legacy font.

Legacy font encoding

Latin-code strings such as Hkkjr can represent Hindi under a specific legacy mapping. Similar-looking font-family names are not proof that two versions use the same character mapping.

Mixed document

A paragraph may legitimately contain Hindi plus URLs, filenames or English—or multiple font runs. Preserve Word formatting where possible so only confirmed legacy-font runs are converted.

Why exact font detection is limited

Plain copied text usually does not carry a reliable source font name, while legacy families and their versions can reuse the same ASCII codepoints for different Devanagari glyphs. SahayakTools therefore does not certify “Kruti Dev 010”, “DevLys 010”, “Shree714”, “Chanakya” or an AMS mapping from plain text alone. Use preserved Word font metadata when available, or confirm the exact source mapping before conversion. If the version is unknown, do not guess.
