What Unicode Converter does
Convert text between readable characters, Unicode code points and common escaped representations.
Worked example
Text “A✓” → code points
U+0041 U+2713
How it works
Unicode assigns code points to characters and marks. The converter reads the input as Unicode text and writes each code point in the chosen notation, or parses valid notation back into text.
Developer workflows
- Inspect unexpected or invisible characters
- Prepare source-code escapes
- Teach code points and text encoding concepts
Security and compatibility checks
- A visible grapheme can contain several code points.
- Visually identical text can use different normalization forms.
- Unicode code points are not the same as UTF-8 bytes or UTF-16 code units.
Frequently asked questions
Why can one emoji produce several code points?
Emoji sequences can combine base characters, modifiers and zero-width joiners into one visible symbol.
What is Unicode normalization?
It converts canonically equivalent sequences into a consistent composed or decomposed form without changing their intended text.
Why do two visually identical strings have different code points?
Unicode can represent some characters in composed or decomposed forms; normalize text before byte-level comparison.
