The editors below allow you to create Devanāgarī and romanized text. “Romanized” means transliterated into the Latin alphabet. These editors are button based and intended for creating only a small amount of text. For creating larger documents, other Devanāgarī software may be more efficient.

Each button below adds a character to the text window. You can then copy the text as needed.

To combine consonants, use one of the halānta buttons:

(​्)	Use this button after a consonant for an end-of-word halānta, or between consonants to join them with a ligature if available, otherwise a half letter if available, otherwise a halānta. Example क (​्) ष = क्ष
[​्]	Use this button to join consonants with a half letter, if available, otherwise a halānta. A ligature is not used. Example क [​्] ष = क्‍ष
{​्}	Use this button to join consonants with a halānta . A half letter or ligature is not used. Example क {​्} ष = क्‌ष

* Not uniquely romanized. Such a character can be converted from Devanāgarī but not to it.

This chart shows one of the mappings from Devanāgarī to Romanization that can be used in the Devanāgarī editor above. This mapping is known as Hunterian and is the official Romanization scheme of the Indian government. Since, in so many cases, Devanāgarī letters map to the same Hunterian letter, this Romanization is suitable only for transliteration from an Indic script, and not to it.

This chart shows the universal character names (UCNs) and other escape sequences, which are used to represent text in certain programming environments which accept only a limited set of characters. UCNs are used in the Devanāgarī editor and Romanization editor above.

An escape sequence is a backslash character (\) followed by a letter and in some cases a hexadecimal numeric code. The exact list of escape sequences varies from one programming language to another. The list below is for JavaScript, which is used on this page.

Escape sequence	Character	Numeric code (hexadecimal)	Numeric code (decimal)
\b	Bell	08	8
\t	Tab	09	9
\n	Newline / Linefeed	0A	10
\v	Vertical tab	0B	11
\f	Form feed	0C	12
\r	(Carriage) Return	0D	13
\"	Double quote (")	22	34
\'	Single quote (')	27	39
\\	Backslash (\)	5C	92
\xhh	8-bit Ascii character	hh
\uhhhh	16-bit Unicode character	hhhh

This chart below shows the HTML character (entity) references used in the Devanāgarī editor and Romanization editor above. These character references may be used on HTML pages to stand for characters that cannot be entered directly into an HTML editor.

There are three forms of HTML character references. Two of these are numeric character references (NCRs), and these can be used for any character. The third form is the named character reference and is available for only 252 of over 100,000 Unicode characters.

The four named character references shown below, for four Ascii characters, must be used in any HTML document to avoid syntax errors. The conversion tools on this page therefore convert these characters to named character references. Other Ascii characters are left unconverted. Non-Ascii characters are converted to either decimal or hexadecimal NCRs.

HTML named character reference	HTML hexadecimal character reference	HTML decimal character reference	Character
"	"	"	Double quote (")
&	&	&	Ampersand (&)
&lt;	&#x3C;	&#60;	Open angle bracket / Less than (<)
&gt;	&#x3E;	&#62;	Close angle bracket / Greater than (>)
	&#xhexdigits;	&#decdigits;	Unicode character with hexadecimal code hexdigits or decimal code decdigits
