Unicode Character Lookup
Look up a single character or Unicode code point to see its decimal and hex code point, UTF-8 bytes, HTML entity, and name.

How the Unicode Character Lookup Works
Paste a single character, or type its code point as U+2764 or plain hex like 2764, and the tool inspects it in full detail: the character rendered large, its decimal and hexadecimal code point, its UTF-8 byte sequence (computed with TextEncoder), its HTML numeric entity, and its Unicode name when available from a built-in reference table covering common Latin characters, punctuation, symbols, and popular emoji.
Example
Entering U+2764 shows the ❤ character, decimal code point 10084, hex U+2764, UTF-8 bytes E2 9D A4, HTML entity ❤, and the name "heavy black heart".
Common Use Cases
- Getting the exact UTF-8 byte sequence of a character for encoding or debugging work.
- Finding the HTML entity code to embed a specific character in a web page.
- Looking up detailed information about one character you already have in hand.
FAQs
- How is this different from Text to Unicode / Unicode to Text? Those tools convert whole strings of text between plain text and Unicode escape notation, one character after another. This tool is a detailed single-character inspector — enter one character or code point and see everything about it (decimal, hex, UTF-8 bytes, HTML entity, and name) at once.
- What if the character's name shows "Unknown character name"? The name table covers Basic Latin, common punctuation and symbols, and roughly 100+ popular emoji, but isn't exhaustive. Every other field — decimal, hex, UTF-8 bytes, and HTML entity — is computed directly and always works regardless of whether the name is known.
- Can I enter more than one character? Only the first character (or code point) you enter is inspected — this keeps the tool focused as a single-character detail view rather than a bulk converter.
