Text to Unicode Converter

The Text to Unicode Converter turns any string you paste into a clean list of Unicode code points, showing you the exact numeric value that stands behind every visible character. Instead of guessing what a symbol, emoji, or accented letter actually is under the hood, you get an unambiguous representation you can copy straight into code, documentation, or a bug report.

It is built for developers, localisation engineers, technical writers, and anyone who needs to inspect or embed characters precisely. Whether you are debugging a mysterious symbol that broke an import, writing a JavaScript string with escaped characters, or generating HTML entities for a template, converting text to explicit code points removes the ambiguity that plain characters can hide.

You can choose from several output formats, including the standard U+XXXX notation used in the Unicode standard, JavaScript-style \uXXXX and \u{...} escapes, HTML numeric entities, and plain decimal numbers. Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing you paste is ever uploaded, and the converted output appears instantly as you type or change any option.

Features

• Converts full Unicode text, correctly handling emoji and other characters above the basic multilingual plane.
• Outputs the standard U+XXXX notation used throughout the Unicode standard and its charts.
• Produces JavaScript escapes, using \uXXXX for common characters and \u{...} for astral code points.
• Generates HTML numeric entities like A so you can embed characters safely in markup.
• Offers a plain decimal format when you just need the raw code point numbers.
• Lets you separate the tokens with spaces, commas, or one per line to suit your target.
• Runs instantly and privately with no account, no upload, and no limit on input length.

How to use Text to Unicode Converter

1. Paste or type the text you want to convert into the input box.
2. Choose the output format: U+XXXX, JavaScript escape, HTML entity, or decimal.
3. Pick how the code points should be separated: by space, comma, or newline.
4. The converted code points update live as you edit the text or change any option.
5. Review the statistics panel to confirm how many characters were processed.
6. Copy the result to your clipboard or export it as a TXT file for later use.

Benefits

• Helps developers embed tricky characters in source code using unambiguous escape sequences.
• Lets localisation teams inspect exactly which code points a translated string contains.
• Makes it easy to spot lookalike characters by comparing their numeric code points.
• Provides ready-to-paste HTML entities for templates, emails, and static sites.
• Keeps private strings safe because all conversion happens locally in your browser.
• Gives instant feedback so you can experiment with formats without any round trips.

Unicode code points identify every character across the world's writing systems, symbols, and emoji, and expressing them numerically avoids the display problems that plain characters sometimes cause in editors, terminals, or logs. Because this tool iterates by code point rather than by UTF-16 unit, characters like emoji that are stored as surrogate pairs are reported as a single correct value rather than being split into two meaningless halves.

The different formats suit different destinations: U+XXXX is ideal for documentation and specifications, JavaScript escapes drop straight into string literals, HTML entities are perfect for markup, and decimal values are handy for spreadsheets or quick calculations. If you already have code points and want the characters back, use the companion Unicode to Text Converter, which reverses the process and accepts all of these notations.
