Convert text to Unicode code points and vice versa.

About Unicode Converter

This tool allows you to convert regular text characters into their Unicode code point representations (in hexadecimal) and also convert a sequence of Unicode code points back into readable text. Unicode is a standard for encoding, representing, and handling text expressed in most of the world's writing systems.

Unicode provides a unique number, called a code point, for every character, no matter what the platform, what the program, or what the language. This ensures consistent display of text across different systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Unicode?

Unicode is a universal character encoding standard used to represent text in most of the world's writing systems. It assigns a unique number (code point) to each character.

What are Unicode code points?

A Unicode code point is a number assigned to a character within the Unicode standard. They are commonly represented in hexadecimal format, often with a "U+" prefix (e.g., U+1F600 for a grinning face emoji).

Can this tool handle all Unicode characters?

Yes, this tool uses standard browser JavaScript functions to handle Unicode conversions, supporting a wide range of characters defined in the Unicode standard.

Why are some code points represented with more than 4 digits?

Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) characters have code points from U+0000 to U+FFFF. Characters outside the BMP (Supplemental Planes) have code points greater than U+FFFF and require more than 4 hexadecimal digits for representation.
