Inspect any Unicode character or text to see its code point, UTF-8 bytes, UTF-16 code units, hex value, and official name.
About This Free Online Unicode Inspector
Our free online Unicode Inspector lets you examine any text or character to see its full Unicode details. For each character, view the code point (U+XXXX), UTF-8 byte sequence, UTF-16 code units, decimal and hex values, HTML entity, and official Unicode name. Perfect for developers debugging encoding issues, designers checking which characters they're using, linguists studying scripts, and anyone curious about how text is represented digitally. All processing runs in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions About Unicode Inspector
What is a code point?
A code point is a unique number assigned to every character in the Unicode standard. It is written as U+ followed by hexadecimal digits (e.g., U+0041 for letter A).
What is UTF-8?
UTF-8 is a variable-width encoding that represents Unicode characters as 1-4 bytes. ASCII characters use 1 byte, while emoji and less common characters use up to 4 bytes.
