Characters in Unicode

Unicode is an encoding system that provides a unique number for every character. Unicode is being used in a wide range of computer systems and is spreading over the world wide web. With Unicode, computer programs can combine several languages into the same document. Although Unicode is platform, program, and language independent, the implementations of Unicode are not. On several, not fully Unicode compliant systems, the encoder / decoder below, as well as the tables of characters in Unicode, will not show correct values.

Encoder / Decoder for characters in Unicode

You can use the following Encoder / Decoder to display characters in Unicode and how they appear on the screen. The Unicode escaped characters are shown as Hexadecimal numbers preceded by % (for characters 20 to FF) or %u (for characters above FF) e.g. the character "/" is the Unicode escaped character "%2F" and the character "Л" is the Unicode escaped character "%u041B".
