Category: Converters

When to use?

Use it to find a character's Unicode code point, or to get a Unicode escape sequence for use in a CSS content property or JavaScript.

How to use

  • Enter a character to see its Unicode code point (U+XXXX).
  • Or enter a code point to see the character.

Input Explanation

Enter a single character to convert to a code point (e.g. U+AC00), or a Unicode value to restore to a character.

Calculation Basis

It uses JavaScript codePointAt() to extract the character's Unicode value in hex and prefix it with U+, and String.fromCodePoint() to render the glyph for a value.

Usage Examples

  • Check a character code point - Quickly find a character's Unicode value.
  • Check emoji codes - Find an emoji's code point to use in CSS or code.
  • Generate escape sequences - Make a \uXXXX Unicode escape for use in code.

Examples

  • "A" → U+0041, "😀" → U+1F600
  • U+0041 → character "A"

Cautions

  • Malformed source data can cause parsing errors or broken output.
  • A mismatched encoding standard or complex nested data may break or drop the structure.

Unicode code points

Unicode assigns a unique number to each character, like U+0041 (A). You can convert to forms like HTML entities (A) and escapes.

Inspect special characters

Useful for checking the code point of an oddly displayed character or an invisible character you copied.
