Identify invisible characters
Spot spaces, line breaks, combining marks, and punctuation that can break search, layout, imports, or localization QA.

Unicode Character Inspector Inspect Code Points, Names, and Encodings
Paste one symbol or a full string. The inspector splits it into characters and shows code point, name, block, UTF-8, UTF-16, HTML entity, CSS escape, and JavaScript escape.

Unicode Character Inspector Problems It Solves
Use this browser inspector when two symbols look alike, copied text behaves oddly, or code needs the exact escape form.
Verify exact encodings
Check UTF-8 bytes, UTF-16 code units, HTML entities, CSS escapes, and JavaScript escapes before shipping code.
Compare multilingual glyphs
Review CJK, Arabic, emoji, currency, and symbol characters with names and Unicode blocks in one browser tool.
Unicode Character Inspector Features
Everything needed to understand a character without leaving the browser.
Code point and name lookup
See U+ values and Unicode character names, including useful labels for controls, private-use, noncharacters, and reserved code points.
Unicode block detection
Locate the block for scripts, symbols, punctuation, emoji support characters, and compatibility ranges.
Encoding and escape output
Copy UTF-8, UTF-16, HTML Entity, CSS Escape, and JavaScript Escape values for documentation and code.
Multiple-character inspection
Paste a string and inspect every code point, or switch to grapheme mode for user-perceived characters.
Whitespace and mark visibility
Spaces, tabs, line feeds, and combining marks get readable previews so hidden characters are easier to debug.
Private browser workflow
Inspection runs locally with browser APIs and bundled Unicode data, so pasted text is not uploaded.
How to Use the Unicode Character Inspector
Paste, split, inspect, and copy the exact values you need.
01
Paste any character or string
Enter one symbol, copied UI text, multilingual content, emoji, whitespace, or a mixed string in the input box.
- Enter one symbol, copied UI text, multilingual content, emoji, whitespace, or a mixed string in the input box.
02
Choose the split mode
Use code point mode for exact Unicode scalar values, or grapheme mode when you want combined emoji and accented letters kept together.
- Use code point mode for exact Unicode scalar values, or grapheme mode when you want combined emoji and accented letters kept together.
03
Read each character card
Review the glyph preview, Unicode code point, character name, block, UTF-8, UTF-16, HTML Entity, CSS Escape, and JavaScript Escape.
- Review the glyph preview, Unicode code point, character name, block, UTF-8, UTF-16, HTML Entity, CSS Escape, and JavaScript Escape.
04
Copy values into your workflow
Use the copy buttons for bug reports, font QA notes, translation tickets, CSS content strings, JavaScript tests, or docs.

Unicode Character Inspector Workflows
Use the inspector for debugging, localization, typography, and web escaping.
Inspect mixed input
Paste text that combines Latin letters, CJK characters, currency signs, emoji, and punctuation, then review every character row.
Run localization and font QA
Find narrow spaces, combining marks, bidirectional punctuation, and glyphs that look correct but encode differently.
Copy encoding escapes
Move from a visible symbol to code point, UTF-8 bytes, UTF-16 units, HTML Entity, CSS Escape, and JavaScript Escape values.
Unicode Character Inspector Use Cases
Built for developers, translators, font designers, editors, and symbol lookup users.
Frontend debugging
Confirm exact escapes for CSS content, HTML documentation, JavaScript strings, tests, and data fixtures.
Translation QA
Identify hidden spaces, wrong punctuation, unexpected combining marks, and script-specific characters in localized strings.
Font and glyph review
Check character names and blocks before choosing fallback fonts, testing coverage, or reporting missing glyphs.
Unicode Character Inspector FAQ
Answers about code points, names, blocks, encodings, escape formats, and privacy.
What does this tool inspect?
It inspects each character and reports the Unicode code point, character name, Unicode block, UTF-8, UTF-16, HTML Entity, CSS Escape, and JavaScript Escape.
Can it analyze multiple characters at once?
Yes. Paste a full string and the tool splits it into entries. Code point mode is exact; grapheme mode keeps combined user-visible characters together.
Does it upload my text?
No. The inspector runs in your browser with local encoding APIs and bundled Unicode data.
Why do some characters show more than one code point?
Some visible characters are sequences, such as emoji with modifiers or letters plus combining marks. Grapheme mode shows those sequences together.
