Unicode Character Search

Paste a character or type a code point to see its Unicode value, decimal number, HTML entity and CSS escape.

What the lookup shows

The browser derives the character, its code point, the decimal value and every common escape form directly from the input. Character names come from a curated set; importing the full Unicode Character Database populates authoritative names for every code point.

Why inspect a character at all

Many symbols look nearly identical but are separate characters with different names, categories and behaviour. If a character is going into a username, filename or anything compared programmatically, checking its code point first is the only reliable way to know what you actually copied.
