Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online unicode character lookup.

Type its code point in a form such as U+00E9, or paste the character itself, and the details update as you type.
A code point is the number that Unicode assigns to a character, written in hexadecimal and prefixed with U+.
Characters below U+0080 use one byte, and the count rises to two, three or four bytes as the code point grows.
An entity is a short text reference that a browser converts into the matching character when it renders the page.
Both encode the same code points, but UTF-8 uses one to four bytes while UTF-16 uses one or two 16 bit units.
The lookup works from a code point or a character, and the block name is then shown as part of the result.
Code points above U+FFFF are encoded as a surrogate pair in UTF-16, so they occupy two 16 bit units in JavaScript.
In CSS you can write a character with a backslash escape such as backslash 00E9 inside a content or font value.
No. Everything is computed locally in your browser, so nothing you type is ever uploaded or logged anywhere.
