Chanakya to KrutiDev in One Paste

Old print shops and DTP centers built on PageMaker often produced everything in Chanakya (Yogesh), a Devanagari font sharing the Remington keyboard heritage. Government offices and typing institutes usually standardized on KrutiDev 010, so archived Chanakya text needs converting when it moves into a KrutiDev-based workflow. This converter maps every Chanakya character to its KrutiDev equivalent internally routing through Unicode.

Conjuncts, matras, and the short-i prefix reorder correctly.
