Unicode Inspector
Unicode Inspector lists code points and hexadecimal U+ values for the first part of a text.
Example: unicode inspector
A😀
A U+0041 😀 U+1F600
How to use this tool
- Paste text containing the characters to inspect.
- Read each character alongside its U+ code point.
- Compare composed and decomposed forms if a symbol surprises you.
What the inspector lists
The implementation iterates Unicode code points and reports up to the first 1,000 items. A character is displayed with a U+ hexadecimal value, such as U+0041 for “A.” It does not look up official character names. A combining accent can appear as its own code point even when it looks attached to the preceding letter.
Use it to investigate text
Inspect a copied symbol, unusual whitespace, or an emoji sequence when two strings look alike but behave differently. Multiple code points can make one visible grapheme, so Character Counter and Character Frequency Counter may report different units. The inspector helps reveal the underlying sequence rather than changing it.
What it does not diagnose
A code point list alone does not tell you the intended encoding of damaged text, whether a confusable symbol is malicious, or how every font will render it. For an exact byte representation of UTF-8 text, Text to Hex or Text to Binary addresses a different layer.
Questions people ask
Does it show Unicode character names?
No; it displays characters and their U+ hexadecimal code points.
Will one emoji always be one row?
No; some emoji are multi-code-point sequences.
Is the entire input always shown?
No; output is capped at the first 1,000 code points.
