In-depth guide

Unicode finder: look up any character, codepoint or emoji

Unicode assigns every character a unique number — a codepoint — written as U+XXXX in hexadecimal. This tool lets you search by symbol, name or codepoint and inspect a character's metadata, all locally in your browser.

Codepoints and notation

A codepoint like U+20B9 identifies the Indian Rupee sign ₹. The U+ prefix signals hexadecimal, so U+0041 is 65 in decimal — the letter A. Characters above U+FFFF, such as most emoji, sit in the supplementary planes and are stored as surrogate pairs in JavaScript, which is why one emoji can count as two UTF-16 code units.

How to use this tool

  1. Search by name (rupee), by codepoint (U+20B9), or paste a character directly.
  2. Read the codepoint, name and related metadata.
  3. Copy the character or its codepoint into your code, content or regex.

Where it is useful

Front-end developers use it to find the right symbol or emoji for UI copy; engineers use it to debug mojibake by checking which codepoint a stray character really is. It also helps when writing regex against specific Unicode ranges, or normalising text that mixes look-alike characters from different scripts.

Privacy

All lookups run in your browser against a built-in table — nothing you paste or search is uploaded.

When to use it vs alternatives

Use this tool for quick browser-based work when you need an answer or output immediately. Use a dedicated application or automated workflow when you need bulk processing, approvals, or repeatable production rules.

Common pitfalls

  • Check the result before replacing the original input.
  • Watch for unit, format, encoding, and browser memory limits on large inputs.
  • Keep a copy of important source material until the output is verified.

Frequently asked questions

Can I search by Unicode codepoint?

Yes. Queries like U+20B9 are supported, as are decimal lookups and searching by character name.

Does this include emoji?

Yes. Common emoji entries are part of the built-in lookup table.

Can I inspect any pasted character?

Yes. Pasting any character shows its computed Unicode codepoint and metadata.

What does the U+ prefix mean?

It signals that the following digits are hexadecimal. U+0041 is hex 41, which is decimal 65 — the letter A.

Why do some emoji count as two characters?

Codepoints above U+FFFF are stored as surrogate pairs in JavaScript's UTF-16, so a single emoji can occupy two code units.

Is the lookup done locally?

Yes. All searches run in your browser against a built-in table — nothing is uploaded.
