How to use the Unicode Converter

  1. Type or paste text, or escape sequences in decode mode.
  2. Pick the format you need from the list.
  3. Copy the result and check the character table.

Frequently asked questions

Why does an emoji count as two characters in JavaScript?

Characters above U+FFFF are stored as two UTF-16 units (a surrogate pair), so string length counts them twice.

What is the difference between a code point and UTF-8?

A code point is the number of a character (U+00E9). UTF-8 is how that number is stored as bytes (C3 A9).

Which escapes can be decoded?

U+XXXX, \uXXXX, \u{...}, \UXXXXXXXX and HTML numeric entities.

Base64 DecoderDecode Base64 and Base64URL to text or files, and encode text to Base64. Detects images and PDFs and lets you download them. UTF-8 safe. URL DecoderDecode and encode URLs and query strings with percent encoding. See the URL broken into host, path and parameters. Handles double-encoded text. Number Base ConverterConvert numbers between binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal and any base from 2 to 36. Supports very large numbers and negative values.
