Complete Kruti Dev & Mangal Alt Codes List (Printable PDF Chart & Shortcuts)

Introduction: Why Missing One Alt Code Can Ruin Your Hindi Typing Test

In Hindi computer typing examinations (such as SSC Stenographer, Allahabad High Court, Patna High Court, CPCT, and UPSSSC), half-letters and special compound characters (संयुक्त व्यंजन) carry tremendous weight. If a passage dictates words like "दृष्टिकोण", "हृदय", "उद्घाटन", "बुद्धि", or "शृंगार", you cannot type them through standard keys—you must input precise Alt Code shortcuts via the numeric keypad.

A single missing or malformed compound word counts as a full mistake. Below is the ultimate, definitive master table of all essential Alt codes for both Kruti Dev 010 and Mangal Remington GAIL.

Crucial Rule for Typing Alt Codes on Windows Keyboards

To ensure your Alt codes register reliably during high-speed typing, always follow these hardware rules:

1. Always Use the Right-Hand Numeric Keypad (NumPad): Holding the Alt key while pressing the number row above the QWERTY keys will NOT work. Alt codes strictly require the dedicated physical NumPad.
2. Ensure Num Lock is ON: Verify that the green LED light for Num Lock is illuminated on your keyboard before typing.
3. Hold Left Alt Down: Press and hold down the Left Alt key with your left thumb, type the 4-digit sequence (e.g., 0 1 8 8) with your right hand, and only then release the Alt key.

Why Mangal Inscript Users Don't Need Alt Codes

If you type using the Mangal Inscript layout, you possess a massive speed advantage: you never need to memorize numeric Alt codes!

In Inscript, every compound character is constructed logically through the Halant (्) connector key (mapped to 'd'):

• To type द्ध in Inscript: Type द (o) + ् (d) + ध (E) = द्ध
• To type हृ in Inscript: Type ह (u) + ृ (+) = हृ
• To type शृ in Inscript: Type श (M) + ृ (+) = शृ
