A codepoint is a unique number that identifies a character in the Unicode standard, written as U+ followed by hex digits, for example U+0041 for the letter A or U+1F600 for a smiling face emoji.

Question 2

How do I find the HTML entity for a character?

Accepted Answer

Paste the text into the tool and the table shows the named HTML entity when one exists (such as & or &copy;), plus the numeric decimal and hex entities for every character.

Question 3

Can I search by codepoint number?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Type a codepoint like U+1F600, 0x1F600 or a decimal number into the search box and the tool resolves it to the matching character and its details.

Question 4

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. All character inspection happens locally in your browser. Nothing you paste is ever sent to a server.
