Hindi typing using legacy fonts like KrutiDev and DevLys (Delves) still remains widely used in many typing workflows. One important feature that helps users type efficiently in these fonts is the ALT code system. Hindi ALT codes allow typists to insert special characters, symbols, and specific Hindi letters using keyboard shortcuts instead of searching manually. In this guide, we will explain what Hindi ALT codes are, why they are needed, how they work, and provide an easy reference table with example words so users can quickly understand each character.

What is ALT Code in Hindi Typing?

ALT code is a keyboard shortcut method used to insert characters by pressing the ALT key along with numeric codes on the keyboard’s numeric keypad.

Example:

👉 Hold ALT + type numeric code → specific Hindi character appears.

In legacy Hindi fonts like KrutiDev and DevLys, many characters are not directly visible on the keyboard layout. ALT codes provide a quick way to access these characters without interrupting typing flow.

How to Use Hindi ALT Codes

1. Place cursor where character is needed.
2. Hold ALT key.
3. Type numeric code using number pad.
4. Release ALT - character appears.
