FAQ

How do I copy a character?

Click any cell in the grid to select it, then click Copy char in the detail panel. You can also click Add to output repeatedly to build a multi-character string, then click Copy all.

What is a Unicode code point?

Every character in the Unicode standard has a unique number called a code point, written as U+ followed by four (or more) hex digits. For example the euro sign is U+20AC.

What is an HTML entity?

An HTML entity is a way to include a Unicode character in an HTML document using its decimal code, like € for the euro sign. It displays correctly in all browsers regardless of page encoding.

What is a CSS escape?

CSS escapes let you include a Unicode character in a CSS string (e.g. in a content: property) by writing a backslash followed by the hex code point, like \20AC for €.

Can I search by code point?

Yes. Type the code point into the search box in U+XXXX format (e.g. U+2665) and the matching character will appear in the grid.
