Unicode Converter

A Unicode converter turns readable text into the numeric code points that computers store, and turns those numbers back into text. Every character, from the letter A to a Chinese ideograph to an emoji, has a Unicode code point, a number usually written like U+0041 for A or U+1F30D for the earth emoji. This tool reads whatever you type and shows the code point behind each character in the notation you choose, so you can see exactly what a string is made of.

As a Unicode to text converter, it takes "U+0048 U+0069 👋" in Decode mode with Auto-detect and returns "Hi👋", even though the input mixes two notations. As a text to Unicode converter, Encode turns "é" into U+00E9 in Code Point format, and the table under the boxes lists its decimal value 233, the HTML entity é and the UTF-8 bytes C3 A9. Typing one character and reading that row makes it a char to Unicode converter too.

The same code point can be written many ways depending on where it is used. A web page might need an HTML entity like A or A, a JavaScript string needs an escape like \u0041, a CSS content value uses \41, and a spec or bug report often quotes the U+ form. This converter produces any of those from one input and decodes them back to plain text, so you can move a tricky character between an editor, a stylesheet, and a script without retyping it or guessing the syntax.

It handles the parts of Unicode that break simple conversions. Characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, such as most emoji, are stored in JavaScript as two surrogate halves, and this tool reads and writes them by true code point so an emoji round-trips correctly instead of splitting into garbage. A per-character table also shows the code point, decimal value, HTML entity, and raw UTF-8 bytes for each glyph. Everything runs entirely in your browser, so the text you paste, which might be user data or an unreleased string, is never uploaded, and the tool keeps working offline once loaded.
