Convert Code Points to Unicode
Convert Code Points to Unicode Text Instantly
Seeing raw numbers like U+1F600 or 😀 instead of the actual characters?
This tool acts as a bridge, re-encoding your numeric values into standard Unicode Glyphs so you can see the emojis, mathematical symbols, and text hidden in the code.
How to Convert Code Points
-
Paste Numeric Values: Enter your code points separated by spaces or commas (e.g.,
1F600or128512). - Select Base: Choose the numbering system of your input data—usually Hexadecimal (Base 16) for U+ formats or Decimal (Base 10) for HTML entities.
- Decode: The tool instantly parses the values, handles Surrogate Pairs, and renders the human-readable text.
U+, 0x, or &#. While our tool attempts to strip them, clean raw numbers work best.
Why Can’t I Read Code Points Directly?
A Code Point is simply the numerical ID card for a character in the Unicode Standard. For example, the decimal number 65 is the ID for “A”. However, raw code points are just numbers.
To see the character, the software must “render” that number using a font file. A direct copy-paste fails because the text editor sees the string “65” as two separate characters (6 and 5), rather than the single byte value for “A”. This tool bridges that gap by programmatically casting the integer values into UTF-16 strings that your browser can render.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What formats does this tool support?
We support any base from 2 (Binary) to 36. The most common are Hexadecimal (used in CSS/JavaScript) and Decimal (used in HTML entities). You can input sequences like `1F4A9` (Hex) or `128169` (Dec).
Q. Why do some characters show as boxes?
This is a font issue, not a conversion issue. If your system lacks a font capable of displaying specific Unicode glyphs (like rare Kanji or ancient scripts), you will see a “Tofu” box (□). Installing a global font like Arial Unicode MS usually solves this.
