Unicode Inspector help

Unicode Inspector lists every code point in a string: its U+ hex value, how many bytes it takes in UTF-8, its general category, and its script.

Steps

  1. Type or paste text into the box.
  2. Read the per-character table and the summary line above it.
  3. Normalise to NFC or NFD, or copy the table as tab-separated values.

Common questions

Why is the count different from my editor's?

This tool counts code points. Editors often count UTF-16 units, so an emoji or other character above U+FFFF shows as two there and one here.

Does it show the official character name?

No full name database is bundled, to keep the tool small. It names a set of common invisible and control characters and gives the code point for everything else.

What is the mixed-script warning for?

Text that mixes, say, Latin and Cyrillic letters can spell a word that looks normal but is not, which is how some phishing domains work.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The analysis runs in your browser.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you enter or drop is uploaded.
