Convert text to Unicode escape sequences and hex codepoints.

ℹ️ About Unicode Converter

The Unicode Converter is a diagnostic tool for analyzing how characters are represented in the universal Unicode standard. While standard English text is easy to handle, modern software must deal with a vast range of symbols, emojis, and characters from international languages, each with its own unique Unicode codepoint.

This tool breaks down your input string into its individual characters, providing the decimal code, hexadecimal codepoint (e.g., U+1F44B for a waving hand), and the programming-style escape sequence. This is essential for troubleshooting "broken" characters (mojibake) in web applications, identifying specific symbols in font files, and correctly embedding special characters into source code strings.

📖 How to use Unicode Converter

1. Type or paste the text containing the characters you want to analyze.
2. Click 'Run Tool' to see the breakdown.
3. Review the 'Hex Codepoints' for official Unicode identification.
4. Use the 'Character Details' table to see the exact numeric value for every symbol in your string.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Codepoint?

A codepoint is a unique number assigned to every character in the Unicode standard. It is usually written in hex with a 'U+' prefix.

How do I use the escape sequences?

Programming languages like Python and JavaScript use escape sequences (like <code>\uXXXX</code>) to allow you to include special characters in code without typing them directly.
