Keeping Kannada Readable Everywhere
Nudi to Unicode exists because Kannada typed in legacy Nudi and Baraha fonts shouldn't stay trapped as unreadable ASCII gibberish. Convert Kannada Nudi and Baraha ASCII text to Unicode — free, instant, in your browser.
About this site: Nudi to Unicode is an independent, free utility. Every conversion runs entirely in your browser — we never see, store, or transmit the text you paste.
Who We Are / About Us
A small group of engineers, linguists, and designers who believe technology should preserve culture, not overwrite it. We operate from our central hub where collaboration meets deep technical expertise.

How We Started
Nudi to Unicode began as a frustration: most online converters handed you a jumbled output with no explanation, no support for edge cases, and pages buried in ads. We wanted the exact opposite.
What started as one clean script grew into a comprehensive tool capable of handling decades of legacy Kannada encodings, built to respect your privacy with zero server-side processing.
What We Do / Our Services
We turn established encoding algorithms into fast, accurate tools you can use in seconds — then wrap them in plain-English explanations of what the result actually means.
We provide completely free, client-side conversion services ensuring zero data retention, prioritizing speed, accessibility, and flawless Unicode compliance for the modern web.
Our principles
Exact mappings, not guesses
Every glyph comes straight from the published Nudi and Baraha key map — no lossy shortcuts or approximations.
Built on the Unicode standard
Output targets the official Kannada Unicode block, so your text renders on any device, in any app — for good.
No account, no upload
The converter runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server, stored, or used to identify you.
Server-rendered for speed
Guides and references ship as crawlable static HTML; the interactive converter hydrates on top without reloading the page.
Plain about limits
We say where conversion gets tricky — rare conjuncts, mixed scripts, non-standard fonts — instead of pretending one tool fits every file.
Open & auditable
The mappings and the assumptions are all visible. Check the Unicode output against your own and verify every character.
Trusted source statement
Our credibility statement
We earn trust the boring way: by showing our mapping tables, citing recognised Unicode consortium standards, and being completely transparent about edge cases.
You can read the methodology behind every conversion mapping in our guides and cross-check the Unicode output yourself. We do not store your data.
Documented mappings
Every Nudi and Baraha key → Unicode mapping is published and inspectable — no hidden lookup tables.
Official Unicode standard
Output targets the official Kannada Unicode block (U+0C80–U+0CFF), so it renders anywhere — not a private font hack.
Honest about edge cases
We flag rare conjuncts, ambiguous glyphs and mixed scripts instead of pretending every input round-trips perfectly.

What People Are Saying

Finally, a converter that actually handles Baraha long vowels correctly without breaking conjuncts. It's saved our publishing team hours of manual fixes every week.

The fact that it processes everything locally in my browser gives me the confidence to use it for sensitive client documents. Fast, secure, and beautiful.
