Free online Unicode lookup tool to search characters and find code points. Shows character name, category, HTML entity, and UTF-8 encoding.
Yes, enter a code point like U+0041 to see the character and its details.
Yes, HTML entity codes (&#x...; format) are displayed for each character.
Yes — this is one of its best uses. Text copied out of Word or a web page often carries hidden zero-width spaces (U+200B) or non-breaking spaces (U+00A0), and those are a classic cause of code that will not compile, searches that find nothing and lists that sort oddly. Paste the troublesome fragment, read the code points, and the culprit shows itself; then clean it up with find and replace.
Yes, and it is common. Latin A (U+0041), Cyrillic А (U+0410) and Greek Α (U+0391) are indistinguishable on screen yet are entirely different characters. That is how lookalike domains and impersonation accounts pass for the real thing, and why a search or comparison can fail for no visible reason. Paste the suspicious string here and the code points show exactly which position holds the odd character.
