Convert text into decimal numbers – full Unicode code points by default, so an emoji becomes a single number such as 128512 rather than several byte fragments.

How to use the Text to Decimal
- Paste your text.
- Keep the unit on "Unicode code points" unless you specifically need the underlying UTF-8 bytes.
- Click "Convert to decimal".
Frequently asked questions
Why is an emoji a single large number here but several numbers elsewhere?
Because this tool defaults to code points, and every character – however exotic – has exactly one code point. In byte mode that same emoji appears as the four UTF-8 bytes that encode it.
What is the largest possible code point?
1114111, written U+10FFFF. That is the fixed upper bound of the Unicode code space. Values above it are invalid, as are the surrogate range 55296 to 57343, which exists only to support UTF-16.
How does this relate to HTML numeric entities?
Directly. An HTML numeric reference is the decimal code point wrapped in an ampersand-hash-semicolon, so 233 becomes é. The HTML Entity Encoder produces those references for you.
