01 · About the font

Akruti Odia Sarala, in plain words.

Akruti Odia Sarala is a legacy Odia font that stores text as ordinary English letters and draws the real letters with the font itself.

Akruti Odia Sarala is a legacy (non-Unicode) font. Instead of storing real Odia characters, it draws Odia shapes on top of English keys, so a document typed in it looks like random Latin letters on any device that doesn’t have the font installed.

Converting to Unicode stores the real characters, which every phone, browser and search engine understands. This converter’s mapping is based on a published open-source table; the Sources list at the end of this page names it and its licence, and the chart below lists every mapping the converter uses.

    Files typed in Akruti Odia Sarala show as Latin letters on any device without the font. Converting them makes the text readable, searchable and editable anywhere.

02 · How to

How to convert Akruti Odia Sarala to Unicode (3 steps)

Legacy text only looks like Odia on a computer that has Akruti Odia Sarala installed. Everywhere else (phones, WhatsApp, websites, search results) it appears as English letters like “ùKû”. Converting to Unicode fixes that for good.

  1. Paste your Akruti Odia Sarala text

    Check that “From” says Akruti Odia Sarala, then paste your text. Akruti Odia Sarala text such as “ùKû Ký } KÑ ùK÷ ùKø” looks like a jumble of English letters and symbols until it is converted.
    Akruti Odia Sarala to Unicode converter with “From” set to Akruti Odia Sarala and the Akruti Odia Sarala sample “ùKû Ký } KÑ ùK÷ ùKø” pasted into the input box

  2. Check the Unicode Odia

    The Unicode Odia appears as you paste: “କୋ କ୍ୟ କ୍ର କ୍କ କୈ କୌ”. Nothing in this Akruti Odia Sarala sample was flagged. When something is, a “notes” button lists it.

  3. Copy it or save a Word file

    Copy puts “କୋ କ୍ୟ କ୍ର କ୍କ କୈ କୌ” on your clipboard, ready for WhatsApp, Gmail or Google Docs. The Word button saves a .docx already set in Kalinga, so you don’t need Akruti Odia Sarala to read it.

Pick a Unicode font. Kalinga, Nirmala UI or Noto Sans Oriya will display the converted text.

Have a whole document instead of a paragraph? The Word file converter keeps tables, bold text and layout.

03 · Output font

Set the output font in MS Word or Google Docs

Unicode text is real Odia, so any Odia-capable font will display it. Pick one that looks good for your document.

Microsoft Word

  1. 1Paste the converted text, then press Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on Mac) to select everything.
  2. 2On the Home tab, click the font box, type “Kalinga” and press Enter.
  3. 3Optional: Review → Language → Set Proofing Language → Odia, so spell-check does not underline everything.
  4. 4If the text still shows boxes, install a Unicode font that covers the script, such as Noto Sans Odia.

Google Docs

  1. 1Paste the converted text and select it with Ctrl+A.
  2. 2Open the font menu → More fonts, search for “Noto Sans Odia” (or Noto Serif Odia) and add it.
  3. 3Apply the font. Because the text is Unicode, it also copies cleanly into Gmail, Sheets and Slides.

What to watch for.

  • Legacy fonts store letters in the order they are drawn, not the order they are read. The converter reorders vowel signs and conjuncts, but check the result against the original if accuracy matters.

Checked against OdiaWikimedia, the open-source converter this mapping was taken from: 225 of 240 test conversions matched exactly. All 15 differences were equivalent spellings. Because the mapping comes from that project, this checks how faithfully it was carried over, not whether the original table is right. See the accuracy page for every difference.

06 · FAQ

Questions about Akruti Odia Sarala to Unicode

Is my Akruti Odia Sarala text uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs as JavaScript in your browser, so your text never leaves your device. Once the page has loaded, it works offline too.

Which font should I use after converting Akruti Odia Sarala to Unicode?

Kalinga, Nirmala UI or Noto Sans Oriya will display the converted text. Unicode text is not tied to one font, so you can switch typeface later without converting again.

How accurate is the Akruti Odia Sarala converter?

It was checked against the converter its mapping came from: 225 of 240 test conversions matched OdiaWikimedia exactly. Each of the other 15 was reviewed. No independent converter has confirmed the table itself yet. The sample on this page converts exactly as expected. No fluent-speaker review has been done, so read important text before you print or submit it.
