Why can't I find every Unicode character name?
This lookup uses a built-in table, not the full Unicode database. It covers printable ASCII plus a curated set of arrows, currency symbols, Greek letters, check marks, hearts, and a few emoji.
Can I search by `U+1F600` or just `1F600`?
Yes. It accepts a single character, `U+XXXX`, `0xXXXX`, or a bare hex code point, and then shows the matching character details.
Why does an emoji show two UTF-16 values?
For code points above `U+FFFF`, JavaScript stores them as a surrogate pair in UTF-16. The tool shows that explicitly in both the UTF-16 and JavaScript escape outputs.
What's the difference between `☃` and `☃`?
They are the same character written as decimal and hexadecimal HTML character references. This tool outputs both so you can copy whichever form you need.
How do I look up a space or another hard-to-see character?
Search by code point instead of by typing the character. For example, `U+0020` will show SPACE even though the preview itself looks blank.
