Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs about ASCII / Text to Unicode

What is a Unicode code point?

A Unicode code point is a number assigned to every character in the Unicode standard. It is written as U+ followed by four to six hex digits, e.g. U+0041 for "A" or U+1F600 for "😀".

What is the difference between ASCII and Unicode?

ASCII is a 7-bit encoding covering 128 characters (basic Latin letters, digits, punctuation). Unicode is a superset covering over 140,000 characters from all writing systems worldwide.

What does U+XXXX mean?

U+ is the prefix for Unicode code points. XXXX is the hexadecimal number of the code point. U+0041 is the code point for uppercase "A".

Can this tool handle emoji?

Yes. Emojis are valid Unicode characters and will be shown with their code points, e.g. "😀" becomes U+1F600.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All conversion is done locally in your browser.
