What this tool does
Inspect Unicode characters to find code points, byte size, categories, emoji, symbols, whitespace, and invisible characters.
The inspector iterates through each Unicode character and reports code point, UTF-8 bytes, and category.
Code points are displayed as U+XXXX. UTF-8 byte size is calculated with TextEncoder.
Example
Paste text to reveal hidden spaces, zero-width marks, emoji bytes, and mixed character types.
Use cases
- Hidden character debugging
- Database text inspection
- Unicode education
- Copy-paste issue diagnosis
Tips for better output
- Check invisible characters when pasted text behaves strangely.
- Review emoji byte size for storage limits.
- Use CSV export for detailed audits.
