Convert characters and U+ notations

For a technical exchange, a coding lesson or a conversion check, this gives learners and developers a readable result. Convert characters and U+ notations.

Convert characters and U+ notations. The result appears instantly in your browser, ready to copy, with no account, upload or storage involved.

How to use

Enter the text you want to convert in the input area, or import a supported text file.
Choose the encoding action for the notation you need: characters, sequences or decimal values.
Run the conversion and read the code points in the result area.
For the reverse operation, paste U+ notations or numeric codes and use a decoding action.
Clear the fields before testing another sample so results do not get mixed up.

Example

The provided example contains the word Café. After encoding, look at how each character is represented as a code point. If you then try decoding, check that the displayed text matches the original word and that accents remain readable.

Input

Café

Output

U+0043 U+0061 U+0066 U+00E9

Limits and formats

The output depends on the selected mode: encoding, decoding, sequences or decimal.
A single symbol may be represented by one or more code points depending on how it is composed.
Accepted files include text formats such as .csv, .json, .md, .xml, .yaml and .yml.
When using the result in code, confirm that the notation matches what your programming language expects.

Where processing happens

The conversion happens inside your browser. The text you enter and the result stay on your device, with nothing uploaded or stored. You can study characters or codes without an account.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between encoding and decoding?

Encoding turns characters into readable code points, while decoding turns U+ notations or numbers back into text. Pick the mode that matches the input you have.

Can I convert several lines at once?

Yes, the input area accepts multiple lines. The result can also become longer, especially when you use sequences or decimal values.

Are accents and rare symbols supported?

The tool works by representing characters through Unicode code points. Some composed characters can produce more than one code point, so review the result carefully.
