The Complete Guide to the Best Unicode to non Unicode Converter
This page converts Telugu Unicode text into the legacy Hiranya 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 Hiranya font
Hiranya 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.
Hiranya encoding and compatibility
Hiranya ships as a single face, so there is no weight to choose before converting. Apply the font in Adobe PageMaker 7.0 and Adobe InDesign CS6 after pasting and the text will render as typed.
The font is an Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) typeface, which means it expects single-byte ASCII input rather than Unicode code points. That is the whole reason a conversion step is needed: Telugu Unicode text pasted directly into a layout using Hiranya shows up as broken or unrelated characters.
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.
Hiranya 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 Hiranya 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 Hiranya 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 Hiranya and convert as usual.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Hiranya the same as Anu 7.0 (Anu Script)?
Hiranya 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. Hiranya 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.
Does Hiranya work in Adobe PageMaker 7.0 and Adobe InDesign CS6?
Yes. Hiranya is a standard Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) font, so any application that can apply a TrueType font and accept ASCII input can use it — including Adobe PageMaker 7.0 and Adobe InDesign CS6. The only requirement is that the font file itself is installed on the machine doing the layout.
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 Hiranya. Apply the font in your layout software and the correct letterforms appear.
Should I enable Alt Raa Vatthu for Hiranya?
No. Hiranya 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 Hiranya 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.
How can I convert Unicode text to Anu fonts?
Select Anu 6 or Anu 7 from the font tabs, then paste your Telugu Unicode text. Our engine instantly translates the text into legacy Anu font ASCII keystrokes suitable for Adobe Photoshop, PageMaker, and InDesign.
How do I convert Unicode to Anu?
Choose Anu 6 or Anu 7 from our Telugu font options, paste your Unicode text, and instantly copy the Anu-compatible output for use in your DTP software.
How do I convert Anu to Unicode?
Paste your legacy Anu script text into the converter, select the appropriate Anu version, and it will automatically translate it back into standard Telugu Unicode text.
What is the difference between Anu 6 and Anu 7?
Both are legacy ASCII fonts for Telugu, but they use slightly different keyboard mappings and glyph assignments. Our tool provides precise rendering options for both versions to perfectly match your installed font files.
Do I need Anu Script Manager installed to use this converter?
No, you do not need Anu Script Manager installed on your computer. Our web tool handles the conversion logic entirely in your browser. You only need the actual Anu font files installed to view the final text in your software.
Can I convert Unicode to Kruti Dev 010?
