Convert text to Unicode code points and back
Free online Unicode converter. Convert text to U+, \u, or &#x HTML hex notation and back. View UTF-8 byte sequences and code point information for any character.
Unicode is a universal character encoding standard that assigns a unique number (code point) to every character from every writing system — including letters, digits, symbols, and emoji.
A code point is the unique number assigned to a Unicode character, written as U+XXXX (e.g., U+0041 for 'A', U+1F600 for '😀').
Unicode is the standard that defines code points. UTF-8 is an encoding that stores those code points as bytes. ASCII characters use 1 byte in UTF-8, while emoji can use up to 4 bytes.
The tool converts to and from U+XXXX notation, \uXXXX JavaScript escape sequences, and &#xXXXX; HTML hex entities.
