Important Notes
- Unicode code points are unique numbers assigned to each character. Written as U+XXXX in hexadecimal format.
- Unicode supports code points from U+0000 to U+10FFFF (over 1 million). Currently defines over 150,000 characters.
- Code point is different from character encoding. Code point is the abstract number, encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16) determines byte representation.
- Emojis use code points in various ranges, typically U+1F300 to U+1F9FF. Some emojis use multiple code points (emoji sequences).
- The calculator shows code points for each character in the input. Multi-character strings show code points for each character separately.
