Character Info

Shows ASCII/Unicode details for a character or code point.

Character Info shows the ASCII and Unicode details for a single character or code point. Enter a character, a decimal code, or a 0x-prefixed hex value and it returns the decimal, hexadecimal, octal, binary, HTML entity, and U+ Unicode notations. It is handy when you need to look up a charcode or convert between code point representations while debugging text, encodings, or escape sequences.

Common uses

  • Look up the decimal, hex, and octal code point for a character you pasted in
  • Find the HTML numeric entity (&#NNN;) to embed a special character in markup
  • Get the U+ Unicode notation for a glyph to use in escape sequences
  • Convert a decimal char code (e.g. 65) to its actual character and other bases
  • Resolve a 0x-prefixed hex code point into the character it represents
  • Inspect the binary representation of a character's code point while debugging encodings

FAQ

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Character Info runs entirely in your browser and nothing you type is uploaded. The conversion happens locally in JavaScript, so no character or code point ever leaves your device.

What input formats are accepted?

You can enter a single character, a plain decimal number (e.g. 65), or a 0x-prefixed hexadecimal value (e.g. 0x41). Input is trimmed of surrounding whitespace before it is parsed.

Which output formats does it show?

It displays the character itself plus its decimal, hexadecimal (0x), octal (0o), binary, HTML numeric entity (&#NNN;), and Unicode (U+) notations.

What happens if I paste more than one character?

Only the first character is used; its code point is read and all other details are derived from that. To inspect a different character, enter it on its own.

Does it support full Unicode code points beyond ASCII?

Yes. It reads the code point with codePointAt and rebuilds the character with String.fromCodePoint, so emoji and other characters above the basic ASCII range work too.
