Devanagari (Hindi) Unicode Entities and Character Codes Reference

ANSI codes are the codes used by Windows-based systems to insert specials characters. If you do not have Devanagari language supports installed, you can still type Devanagari using these codes. For example, to type क, you would type ALT+02325.

Entity codes are the Unicode or Decimal equivalents. They are used to type Devanagari in webpages. For example, to type परम, you can type परम in any HTML webpage and it will display the Devanagari.

Hex Entity is another way of coding the characters. The Hex equivalents are used in Linux and Mac OS X to insert Devanagari characters. For example, to type स in Mac OS X, you would type Option+0938 (omit '&#x').
