About Unicode Inspector
Unicode characters can use one or more bytes and may look identical even when their code points differ. This inspector lists each code point in a string with its common machine-readable representations.
How to use
- Enter or paste any text, including emoji.
- Choose a table or JSON result.
- Copy the code points or UTF-8 bytes you need.
FAQ
Why can one emoji produce several rows?
Some visible emoji are sequences of multiple Unicode code points joined by variation selectors or zero-width joiners.
Is U+ notation the same as UTF-8?
No. U+ identifies a Unicode code point, while UTF-8 describes the bytes used to encode it.
