How to use Convert UTF8 to Code Points
- 1. Paste the UTF-8 text. Type or paste the text you want to inspect, such as A followed by a euro sign, into the input pane.
- 2. Set the Separator and Format. Choose the character between values and pick Decimal or Hex from Format. Hex output uses the standard U+ notation you see in the Unicode charts; decimal matches most programming APIs.
- 3. Copy the code point list. The output pane lists each character's Unicode code point in your chosen format. Copy it into documentation, a bug report or a script that needs the raw values.
When to use Convert UTF8 to Code Points
Convert UTF8 to Code Points extracts the Unicode number behind each character in a string, independent of how many bytes that character happens to take up. It is the reverse lookup for whenever you know the character but need its official U+ value.
- Looking up an emoji's official code point. You want to reference a specific emoji or symbol in a Unicode proposal or GitHub issue by its formal U+ value rather than pasting the character itself.
- Debugging a codePointAt result in JavaScript. You are stepping through code that calls codePointAt on a string with surrogate pairs and want to confirm which numeric value corresponds to which visible character.
- Documenting rare characters in a font specimen. A font testing document lists sample characters alongside their code points so reviewers can cross-reference them against a Unicode block chart.
