Unicode Character Detector

A free online text processing tool that inspect unicode characters with codepoint and category info. Transform, analyze, and manipulate text instantly in your browser. Invisible Unicode characters — zero-width spaces, soft hyphens, right-to-left override marks — can silently break code, cause phantom diff failures, and enable homoglyph phishing attacks. Developers debugging mysterious encoding errors and security teams auditing suspicious text need a way to inspect every character's codepoint, category, and visibility status, which no standard editor exposes in a readable breakdown. Each character in your text is decomposed into its Unicode codepoint (U+XXXX), official name, general category, block, and UTF-8 byte sequence. The output table helps debug encoding issues and invisible characters. Paste any text and the tool breaks it down character by character, showing each character's Unicode codepoint, name, category (letter, digit, symbol, etc.), and UTF-8 byte encoding. All analysis happens locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded — safe for inspecting log files, debug output, or sensitive data.
