Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does the Unicode Character Inspector do?
It breaks your text into individual characters and shows the code point, UTF-8 bytes, HTML entity, name and category for each one.
How do I inspect special or invisible characters?
Paste your text into the box. Control characters and spaces are shown with their names and hex bytes, so invisible characters become visible.
What is the summary section for?
It shows the total character count, the number of unique code points, and the total UTF-8 byte length of your text.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
