Unicode Code Point Converter

Convert between characters and their Unicode code points in both directions.

The number behind every character

Every character has a Unicode code point — a number that identifies it uniquely across every language and symbol set. This converts characters to their code points and code points back to characters, so you can identify an unusual symbol, enter a character by its code, or understand exactly what is in a string of text.

Paste characters to get their code points, or code points to get the characters.

Where code points solve real problems

Code points are how you settle questions your eyes cannot: whether two look-alike characters are actually the same, what that mystery symbol pasted from somewhere really is, or which invisible character is breaking a string. They also let you enter characters not on your keyboard, and they are how emoji and accented letters are represented under the hood. When text is behaving strangely, dropping to the code-point level almost always reveals what is really going on.

A number that uniquely identifies a character across every language and symbol, so every character maps to one.

When would I need it?

To identify a mystery or look-alike character, find an invisible one breaking a string, or enter a character by its code.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your browser.
