Sobre Unicode Character Finder

This finder describes characters. Paste a character, a few characters or a list of code points such as U+1F600, and each one is listed with its code point, decimal value, UTF-8 bytes, UTF-16 units, category, script and block.

It helps you tell look-alike characters apart, find out why a string is longer than it looks, and get the codes you need for escapes in code. Invisible characters are shown with a placeholder so they can be seen.

Perguntas frequentes

What is a code point?

The number Unicode gives each character, written as U+ and at least four hexadecimal digits. The euro sign is U+20AC.

How do I enter code points?

Use a prefix such as U+, 0x, \u or &#x so they are not read as ordinary letters. Choose Code points in the menu to enter bare hex numbers.

What do UTF-8 and UTF-16 show?

The bytes UTF-8 uses and the 16-bit units UTF-16 uses. An emoji takes four UTF-8 bytes and two UTF-16 units.

Does it show the official character name?

No. It shows the category, script and block, which is enough to identify the kind of character. Names are not included.
