Devnagari is used as a script in Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, Konkani, Nepali and at least other 18 languages of South Asia. But, no research is available in the field to design portable Devnagari Unicode Reader (DUR). This paper aims to fill this research gap and design a portable DUR as well as make it thermal and energy efficient. Thermal efficient DUR means this DUR is able to operate in the temperature range of 0 o C-125 o C. Energy efficient DUR means that it would be able to run with the least amount of energy in compare to their traditional counterpart. Four different 28nm 7 Series FPGA and Xilinx ISE 14.6 were taken to verify the energy efficiency and thermal efficiency of a portable Unicode reader using MOBILE DDR input/output standard. Kintex-7 is more thermal efficient than Artix-7. Whereas, Kintex-7 Low Voltage(LV) is even more thermal efficient than general Kintex-7. Artix-7 is energy efficient than Kintex-7. Also, Artix-7 is more energy efficient than Artix-7 LV.
