Hi 😀

Counts characters by Unicode code point, so emoji and astral characters work correctly.

Convert text to and from Unicode code points and escapes. Unicode Converter is a free, browser-based tool in the Filevane programming collection — there is nothing to install, no account to create and no watermark on your results. It works on desktop, tablet and mobile, and because the work happens on your own device it stays fast even with large inputs.

How to use Unicode Converter

  1. Open Unicode Converter — it runs entirely in your browser with no setup.
  2. Paste or type your input into the text area, or upload a file where supported.
  3. Set any options you need. The result appears in the output panel — there is no upload step and no waiting on a server.
  4. Review the output instantly; large inputs are handled locally without lag.
  5. Copy the result to your clipboard or download it. Your data never leaves the page.

Why use Unicode Converter?

  • 100% free with no limits, no sign-up and no watermarks.
  • Private by design — your data are processed in your browser and never uploaded to a server.
  • Fast and lightweight, with instant results even on a phone or a slow connection.
  • Works everywhere — any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iOS.
  • Part of a full programming suite, so related unicode tasks are one click away.

What people use Unicode Converter for

  • Finding the code point of a character for an escape sequence.
  • Converting text to and from Unicode escapes.
  • Diagnosing a character that displays incorrectly.

Unicode Converter: limits and things worth knowing

  • A code point is written U+ followed by hex, so U+0041 is 'A'. Escape syntax differs by language: \u0041 in JavaScript, \N{...} by name in Python.
  • Characters above U+FFFF are stored as surrogate pairs in UTF-16, which is why JavaScript reports a length of 2 for a single emoji.
  • A visible character can be several code points. An emoji with a skin tone or a country flag is a sequence joined by modifiers or zero-width joiners.
  • Visually identical characters can have different code points — Cyrillic 'а' and Latin 'a' look the same and are not equal, which is the basis of homograph attacks.

Is it private and secure?

Your privacy is built in. Unicode Converter runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.

Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.

You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.

Why Browser-Based Tools Are Safer for Your Files Most online converters upload your files to a server. Client-side tools don't. Here's why that difference matters for privacy.
