What is Unicode Converter?

Unicode assigns a unique number (code point) to every character in every writing system — over 140,000 characters covering 150+ scripts, mathematical symbols, emoji, and ancient scripts. A code point is written as U+ followed by hexadecimal: 'A' is U+0041, '€' is U+20AC, '😀' is U+1F600. Converting to code points is essential when debugging character encoding issues, inspecting what characters a string actually contains, embedding special characters in code, and working with internationalized text that may render differently across systems.

This converter accepts any text — including emoji, combining characters, right-to-left text, and any Unicode block — and displays each character with its code point, Unicode block name, and official character name. The reverse conversion accepts U+ notation and renders the corresponding characters. This is useful when copying from documentation that describes characters by code point and you need to see the actual character.

How to use Unicode Converter in 3 steps
  1. 1

    Paste your text

    Enter any text including emoji, symbols, or non-Latin scripts.

  2. 2

    View code points

    Each character appears with its U+ code point, Unicode block, and official character name.

  3. 3

    Convert back from code points

    Paste space-separated U+ values to render the corresponding characters.

Key features and benefits
  • Supports all Unicode blocks including emoji
  • Shows block name and official character name for each code point
  • Bidirectional: text-to-code-points and code-points-to-text
  • Useful for debugging encoding issues

Unicode Converter FAQs

Quick answers about the workflow, privacy, and where this tool fits in a broader job.

What is the difference between Unicode and UTF-8?

Unicode is the character set — it assigns numbers to characters. UTF-8 is an encoding — it specifies how to store those numbers as bytes. ASCII characters take 1 byte in UTF-8; emoji take 4 bytes. All UTF-8 text uses Unicode code points.

Why does text look different on different platforms?

Unicode defines code points, but the visual rendering (glyph) depends on the font. Emoji vary significantly between Apple, Google, and Windows because each platform draws them differently for the same code point.

How do I embed a Unicode character in code?

JavaScript: \uXXXX for BMP (U+0000–U+FFFF) or \u{XXXXX} for supplementary. Python: \uXXXX or \UXXXXXXXX. HTML: &#xXXXX; or named entity like € for U+20AC.
