Frequently Asked Questions
Paste the character into this tool. It will show the code point in U+XXXX format, along with the official Unicode name and other properties.
The General Category indicates the character type: Lu (uppercase letter), Ll (lowercase letter), Nd (decimal digit), Sc (currency symbol), So (other symbol), etc. This helps with text processing logic.
Emoji are characters with their own code points, mostly in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (U+1F300 to U+1F9FF). Some emoji use sequences of multiple code points (like skin tone modifiers).
Different Unicode characters that look identical, like Latin "a" (U+0061) and Cyrillic "а" (U+0430). They are used in phishing attacks. This tool can identify which character you actually have.
Yes, enter part of the Unicode name (like "GRINNING" or "EURO") to find matching characters. Exact code point searches also work with U+, 0x, or plain hex formats.
The BMP is Unicode Plane 0 (U+0000 to U+FFFF), containing most commonly used characters. Characters outside BMP (like many emoji) require surrogate pairs in UTF-16 encoding.
