FAQ
Q1: What is a Unicode code point?
A Unicode code point is a unique number assigned to each character in the Unicode standard, commonly shown as U+ followed by a hexadecimal number. For example, "δΈ" has code point U+4E2D, and "A" has code point U+0041. Unicode currently defines over 140,000 characters covering all writing systems.
Q2: What is the difference between UTF-8 and Unicode?
Unicode is a character encoding standard that defines a mapping between characters and code points. UTF-8 is a Unicode encoding scheme that uses 1-4 bytes per code point. ASCII characters (U+0000-U+007F) need only 1 byte in UTF-8, common Chinese characters typically need 3 bytes, and emoji/symbols need 4 bytes.
Q3: How do I input specific Unicode characters?
Windows: Alt + numpad to input code points. Mac: Ctrl+Cmd+Space to open the character viewer, or use Unicode Hex Input. HTML: use + code point, e.g. 中 displays "δΈ". This tool lets you search and copy any Unicode character directly.
