Every character is a code point under the hood, and when text misbehaves the cause is often a character you cannot see. Paste any text and this shows each character's code point, its decimal value, the HTML entity and the UTF-8 bytes, so you can pin down exactly what is there.

Common use cases
Find invisible charactersTrack down a zero-width space or odd whitespace that is breaking a comparison or a layout.
Debug encoding issuesSee the actual bytes behind text that arrived garbled to work out where the encoding went wrong.
Look up a symbolIdentify an unfamiliar character and get its code point and HTML entity to reuse it.
Check emoji and scriptsSee how an emoji or a non-Latin character is built from one or more code points.
Good to know
What you see is not always one characterMany emoji and accented letters are several code points combined, so one glyph on screen can be more than one entry here.
Code point versus byteThe code point is the character's identity; UTF-8 may store it in one to four bytes. The tool shows both so you do not confuse them.
Great for the invisible stuffZero-width and look-alike characters are exactly what this surfaces, the kind a normal editor hides from you.
Normalisation can change the countThe same-looking text can use different code points depending on how it was normalised, so two strings that match by eye may differ here.
