Free Online Unicode Character Inspector
Paste any text and see each character on its own row, with its code, name, bytes and script. Invisible characters and look-alike letters are marked so you can find what is hiding in your text. It gives developers a quick browser-based way to solve a focused unicode character inspector task before moving the result into a project.
How to inspect your text
Paste or type text on the left. The table lists every character. Rows with a warning are highlighted and explained. Press Remove hidden characters to get a clean copy of your text.
What the columns mean
Code is the Unicode number (U+0041 is the letter A). UTF-8 is how the character is stored in a file or sent over the web. HTML is the entity you can write in a web page.
Common mistakes
- A normal-looking password or name can contain a zero-width space; compare it here when a login or search fails for no visible reason.
- A no-break space looks like a space but is a different character, so a search for a normal space will not find it.
