TL;DR
What is Text to unicode?
A Unicode code point is the unique numeric identifier assigned to each character in the Unicode standard, written as U+XXXX in hexadecimal (e.g. U+0041 for "A", U+1F600 for the grinning emoji). Unicode currently covers over 149,000 characters across 161 scripts.
Common use cases
- ‣Debugging encoding issues: identify unexpected characters in a string by inspecting their code points
- ‣Emoji and special character lookup: find the exact code point for a character to use in source code or HTML
- ‣Internationalization: verify that non-ASCII characters in user input are in the expected Unicode range
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a code point and a byte?
A code point is the abstract Unicode number for a character. A byte is a unit of storage. In UTF-8, one code point is stored as 1 to 4 bytes depending on its value. ASCII characters (U+0000 to U+007F) use 1 byte; emoji typically use 4 bytes.
What does "U+" mean in front of a code point?
"U+" is a conventional prefix indicating that the following hexadecimal number is a Unicode code point. It is not part of the number itself. U+0041 means code point 65 (decimal), which is the letter "A".
