Unicode Code Point Converter

Look up the code point of every character – with its decimal value, UTF-8 bytes and UTF-16 units – or turn U+ notation back into text.

How to use the Unicode Code Point Converter

  1. Paste text to inspect, or code points in U+ notation to convert back.
  2. Set the direction accordingly.
  3. Keep the detail table on to see each character with its decimal value, UTF-8 bytes and UTF-16 units.
  4. Click "Convert code points".

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a code point?

It is the number Unicode assigns to a character, independent of how that character is stored. The code point is the identity; UTF-8 and UTF-16 are two different ways of writing it down as bytes.

Why do the UTF-8 and UTF-16 columns differ so much?

Because they are different encodings of the same value. UTF-8 uses one to four bytes and is ASCII-compatible; UTF-16 uses one or two 16-bit units. The letter A is one byte in UTF-8 and one unit in UTF-16; an emoji is four bytes and two units.

Which input notations are accepted?

U+1F600, plain hex like 1F600, the 0x prefix and the brace escape form. Values are validated against the Unicode range and the surrogate block.

  • Previous step: Unicode Unescape — Convert escape sequences in the JavaScript, ES6, Python and hex styles back into the characters they represent, flagging unpaired surrogates.
  • Next step: UTF-8 Byte Counter — Count UTF-8 bytes, characters and UTF-16 units separately – the three numbers that disagree whenever emoji or non-Latin scripts appear – and compare them against common limits.
  • Unicode Escape — Turn characters into escape sequences for JavaScript, ES6, CSS, Python, Java or C, which is useful when source files or config formats must stay pure ASCII.
  • UTF-8 Encoder and Decoder — Inspect exactly how text becomes UTF-8 bytes – as hex, percent-escapes, decimal or hex escapes – and convert those bytes back to text.
  • Text to Hex — Convert text to hexadecimal – two hex digits per UTF-8 byte, or per code point.
