About this tool

What is Shree-Lipi and why convert between Unicode and Shree-Lipi?

Shree-Lipi is a comprehensive font system developed by Modular Systems (India). It has been one of the most widely used Devanagari font systems in India, particularly in publishing, media, and corporate sectors. Shree-Lipi fonts come in multiple scripts and variants, with Shree-Dev-0714 being the most popular for Devanagari.

Unicode is the modern, universal standard for text encoding. However, many publishing workflows, design templates, and legacy systems still require Shree-Lipi font encoding. This converter bridges the gap by transforming Unicode Devanagari text into Shree-Lipi-compatible characters.

The key difference lies in character encoding. Unicode assigns a unique codepoint to each Devanagari character (e.g. U+0928 for 'न'), while Shree-Lipi maps characters to positions in its own encoding table, which is based on the ISCII (Indian Script Code for Information Interchange) standard. A Shree-Lipi-encoded document requires the Shree-Lipi font to render correctly.

Paste your Unicode Hindi text in the input box above, and the converter will instantly produce the Shree-Lipi font output. Copy the result and paste it into any application with the Shree-Lipi font installed.

This page also handles reverse conversion — from Shree-Lipi font encoding back to Unicode. If you have old documents typed in Shree-Lipi font and need to modernize them, simply paste the Shree-Lipi-encoded text and click the swap button (⇄) to convert it to clean Unicode. No separate Shree-Lipi-to-Unicode page is needed; this single tool covers both directions.

Unicode Devanagari

नमस्ते

Shree-Lipi Output

ÆÌ×èÂá

The Hindi word for 'Hello' (नमस्ते) becomes the encoded string above in Shree-Lipi encoding. When viewed with the Shree-Lipi font, it renders correctly as Hindi text.

Shree-Lipi Output

ÆÌ×èÂá

Unicode Devanagari

नमस्ते

The reverse direction works just as smoothly. Paste Shree-Lipi-encoded text and click swap (⇄) to get clean Unicode Hindi back. This is useful for modernizing old Shree-Lipi-font documents.

Limitations

What this tool does and doesn't do.

Font rendering is not included

The Shree-Lipi output requires the Shree-Lipi font to be installed in your target application to display correctly. Without the font, the output will appear as encoded characters.

Encoding compatibility

This converter uses ISCII-based encoding. Some Shree-Lipi font variants may use slightly different encodings. Verify output with your specific Shree-Lipi font version.

No text formatting preserved

This tool converts plain text only. Bold, italic, font size, and other formatting from your source document are not preserved.

Large documents may be slower

While there is no hard character limit, very large documents (tens of thousands of characters) may take a moment to process.
