Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why transform Unicode to Chanakya for CorelDraw and PageMaker?
Older versions of CorelDraw and Adobe PageMaker, especially 6.5 and 7.0, can not process modern UTF-8 Unicode text. Therefore, Devanagari text appear distorted with broken conjuncts. Traditional fonts used in printing can not represent matras. Hence, the need for a workaround. Chanakya to the rescue! Traditionally, Chanakya replaces some distorted and broken characters with ASCII, which can then be represented in a traditional printing font.
Is Walkman Chanakya the same as Chanakya?
Walkman Chanakya (Walkman 901 and 905) and Chanakya use the same character encoding to ASCII. Therefore, our converter is equally compatible to both.
Can I get Unicode Mangal from Chanakya?
Yes. Just change the direction to Unicode → Chanakya. Our engine instantly transforms Chanakya to standard Devanagari Unicode suitable for websites, messages, and other media.
Are there constraints on the character length for conversion?
Not at all! Our converter is designed to be used for long texts, including books.
