The Complete Guide to the Best Unicode to non Unicode Converter
This page converts Telugu Unicode text into the legacy Brahma font layout, the format required by PageMaker, InDesign and other DTP software that cannot read Unicode directly. Paste your Telugu text above and copy the converted output straight into your layout. Everything below applies to the font selected on this page. Pick your exact font before converting — each legacy face has its own mapping, and the same text converted for a different weight will not render correctly.
About the Brahma font
Brahma is one of the Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) faces supported here, and this page handles its mapping specifically rather than falling back to a generic Telugu table.
The output is plain text rather than rich text, so it pastes cleanly into a text frame in Adobe PageMaker 7.0 and Adobe InDesign CS6 and keeps the character order the layout expects.
Brahma weights and variants
The converter ships 2 faces of the Brahma family: Brahma and Brahma Script. Each face has its own mapping, so converting for Brahma will not produce correct glyphs if you then apply Brahma Script in your layout — pick the face first, then convert.
Brahma is the Regular cut. Medium cuts are the usual choice for body text when the printing process tends to thicken strokes. Switch faces by selecting a different font in your DTP application — the converted text itself is identical in length.
How Telugu maps into Anu 7.0 (Anu Script)
Telugu legacy fonts stack consonant clusters and place the Ra vatthu (ra) to the right of the base letter, a layout Unicode stores in a different order than ASCII fonts expect.
Brahma is not a RAA font, so the Ra vatthu is drawn in its normal position. Leave the Alt Raa Vatthu option off when converting for this face; enabling it shifts Ra clusters to the right and breaks the output.
Character coverage is handled by the same engine used across the site: unmapped characters are reported rather than silently dropped, so you can see exactly which part of a manuscript needs manual attention before it reaches the press.
Using Brahma in Adobe PageMaker 7.0
Open the layout in Adobe PageMaker 7.0 and place a text frame. Convert the Telugu text above, then paste with the plain-text paste command — not paste-special, which can re-import Unicode formatting and undo the conversion.
With the text selected, apply Brahma from the font menu. Telugu clusters should form immediately; if a conjunct still looks wrong, check that the character was not typed with a different Unicode normalisation before conversion.
Getting Telugu text out of a PDF or photo
If the Telugu copy is already inside a PDF, a Word file or a photo, you do not need to retype it. The File to Text button reads PDF, DOCX, ODT, PPTX, XLSX, TXT and images, then puts the extracted Telugu text in the Unicode box above.
Scanned pages can be read with on-device text recognition in Telugu. Recognition and conversion both run in the browser, so the document is not uploaded. After extraction, choose Brahma and convert as usual.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Brahma the same as Anu 7.0 (Anu Script)?
Brahma is one face within the Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) family. Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) is the encoding scheme — the rule set that decides which ASCII byte draws which Telugu glyph. Brahma is a specific typeface built to that scheme. Text converted for Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) renders correctly in any font that follows it, but the letterforms differ between faces.
Can I convert once and use any Brahma weight?
No. The converted text is the same length regardless of weight, but each face has its own glyph mapping, so text converted for Brahma will not render correctly if you apply Brahma Script. Convert again with the weight you intend to use, or convert separately for each edition.
Why does my Telugu text look like random English letters after converting?
That is expected before the font is applied. Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) stores Telugu glyphs as ASCII bytes, so the converted text reads as Latin characters in any application that has not loaded Brahma. Apply the font in your layout software and the correct letterforms appear.
Should I enable Alt Raa Vatthu for Brahma?
No. Brahma is not a RAA font and draws the Ra vatthu in its normal position. Enabling Alt Raa Vatthu shifts Ra clusters to the right and produces incorrect output for this face.
Does converting to Brahma send my text anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The text you paste is never uploaded, logged or stored on a server, which is why the tool is safe for unpublished manuscripts and confidential Telugu documents. The only local data kept is your own UI preferences and recent conversion history, stored in your browser.
Will the tool fix spacing issues in old text?
Yes, our converter includes smart line-break cleaning, zero-width character stripping, and quote normalization to prevent corrupted glyphs and spacing issues common when pasting into Adobe InDesign and Photoshop.
Why does the output look weird on my device?
The converted output consists of ASCII keystrokes that only look correct when you apply the specific legacy font (like Anu 7.0 or Kruti Dev) in your design software. In a standard web browser or text editor, it will appear as English gibberish.
is it for all languages?
It is designed specifically for major Indian regional languages (Indic scripts). We provide accurate conversions for Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, and Gujarati.
Does it support other languages?
Yes! Beyond Telugu, our converter fully supports Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Gujarati using fonts like Kruti Dev, Bamini, Shree Lipi, ML-TT, Nudi, and more.
