Kannada Unicode ⇄ ASCII (Nudi/KGP) Converter client-side

Paste normal (Unicode) Kannada text on the left. The right box shows the equivalent legacy Nudi / KGP ASCII font encoding — the same scheme used by Nudi, Baraha-compatible DTP tools, and Karnataka Government "GOK" fonts. It will look like scrambled Latin letters/symbols unless you view it with a Nudi/KGP-compatible font installed — that's expected.

Notes: This covers the standard consonant + vowel-sign combinations, conjuncts (vattakshara, e.g. ಕ್ಕ, ಸ್ತ, ಪ್ರ), and reph/arkavattu (ರ್ as in ಕರ್ಮ, ವರ್ಷ). Very rare triple-consonant conjuncts and a few irregular letters (ಙ, ಞ) have limited coverage, since the legacy font encoding itself only defines a handful of forms for them. Always spot-check important text after conversion.
