Good to know

Kannada combines a consonant with dependent vowel signs and can form conjunct clusters. The converter builds these from the sounds you type, and the result is standard Unicode Kannada.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type long vowels in Kannada?

Double the vowel, for example aa or ee, to get the long form; single letters give short vowels.

Does it handle consonant clusters?

Yes. Adjacent consonants form conjunct clusters automatically, though it is worth checking unusual stacks.

Will Unicode Kannada display widely?

It works in modern apps and phones that support Unicode Kannada, without installing a font.
