Character Code Finder: Look Up Any Character Code

Working with special characters, symbols, or Unicode? The Character Code Finder instantly shows you the Unicode code point, HTML entity, and other representations.

What It Does

This tool takes any character or symbol and returns its Unicode code point, UTF-8 hex encoding, HTML decimal entity, HTML named entity (if available), and JavaScript escape sequence. It supports the full Unicode range including emojis and special symbols.

How to Use It

Type or paste a character into the input field and the tool immediately displays all its code representations. You can also search by Unicode code point or HTML entity name to find a specific character. Click any code to copy it to your clipboard.

Tips & Tricks

Use HTML entities when you need to display special characters that might break HTML syntax, like angle brackets or ampersands. The JavaScript escape sequence is useful for embedding characters in string literals. Bookmark commonly used symbols for quick reference.

Use Cases

Web developers look up HTML entities for special characters in their markup. Technical writers find the correct Unicode symbols for documentation. Designers locate specific arrow, check mark, or currency symbols by code point.
