Mangal keyboard layout chart
Mangal is a font, not a layout
A font decides how letters look; a keyboard layout decides which key produces which letter. Mangal can be used with InScript, Remington Gail or phonetic keyboards. When a notice asks for Mangal, check which layout it allows. This page starts in InScript, the most common choice; switch to Remington Gail in the layout menu if you need it.
The practice passages here are shown in Noto Sans Devanagari, which follows the same Unicode rules as Mangal. What you type is exactly what you would type in Mangal.
Mangal vs Kruti Dev
Kruti Dev is an older font that stores Hindi as English letters drawn with Hindi shapes. Text typed in Kruti Dev looks like nonsense on a computer without the font. Mangal stores real Hindi characters, which is why government offices have been moving to Unicode.
