Unicode inspector
Inspect code points, invisible characters, and UTF-8 bytes.
About Unicode inspector
Look beyond the visible glyphs in a string. The inspector shows how text is represented so that combining characters, zero-width characters, and similar-looking symbols are easier to spot.
Steps, example, and limitations
How to use it
- Paste the text to inspect.
- Review the listed code points and byte information.
- Use the available normalization controls and compare the resulting text.
Example
Input
A
Result
U+0041 UTF-8 byte: 41
Things to know
- One visible symbol can consist of multiple code points. A code-point count is not always a count of user-perceived characters.
- Normalization can change a string. Keep the original when examining exact identifiers, signatures, or hashes.
