Unicode Code Point Properties

What is a Code Point?

A Unicode code point is a unique number assigned to each character in the Unicode standard. It serves as the fundamental unit of Unicode text processing and is the basis for all character encoding schemes.

Code Point Ranges

Unicode is organized into several ranges:

Basic Latin: U+0000 - U+007F (ASCII characters)
Latin-1 Supplement: U+0080 - U+00FF (extended Latin)
General Punctuation: U+2000 - U+206F (punctuation marks)
Mathematical Symbols: U+2200 - U+22FF (math symbols)
Emoticons: U+1F600 - U+1F64F (facial expressions)
Miscellaneous Symbols: U+2600 - U+26FF (various symbols)

Surrogate Pairs

Code points above U+FFFF (65,535) require surrogate pairs for representation in UTF-16:

High Surrogate: U+D800 - U+DBFF
Low Surrogate: U+DC00 - U+DFFF
Example: U+1F600 (😀) = U+D83D U+DE00

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Unicode code point?

A Unicode code point is a unique number assigned to each character in the Unicode standard. It serves as the fundamental unit of Unicode text processing and is typically represented in hexadecimal format like U+0041 for the letter 'A'. Code points range from U+0000 to U+10FFFF.

How do I convert code points to Unicode characters?

Simply enter your code points in the input field using any supported format (U+XXXX, decimal, 0xXXXX, 0bXXXX, 0oXXXX), and our tool will instantly convert each code point to its corresponding Unicode character. The tool shows the character, original code point, and conversion details.

What formats are supported for code points?

Our tool supports multiple formats: U+XXXX (standard Unicode notation), 0xXXXX (hexadecimal), 0bXXXX (binary), 0oXXXX (octal), and plain decimal numbers. You can mix different formats in the same input, and the tool will automatically detect each format.

Can I convert emoji code points?

Yes, our tool supports all Unicode characters including emojis. Emojis often use code points above U+FFFF, which require surrogate pairs for proper representation. The tool handles these automatically and displays the correct emoji character.

What happens if I enter an invalid code point?

The tool will display a clear error message indicating what went wrong. Common issues include code points outside the valid Unicode range (0-0x10FFFF), invalid format syntax, or non-numeric characters in numeric formats. The tool continues processing other valid code points.

How do surrogate pairs work?

Surrogate pairs are used to represent Unicode code points above U+FFFF in UTF-16 encoding. A high surrogate (U+D800-U+DBFF) and low surrogate (U+DC00-U+DFFF) combine to represent a single character. Our tool handles this conversion automatically.

Can I convert multiple code points at once?

Yes, you can enter multiple code points separated by spaces, commas, or on different lines. The tool will process each code point individually and display all the resulting characters. You can also mix different formats in the same input.

What's the difference between code points and character encoding?

Code points are abstract numbers that identify characters in the Unicode standard, while character encoding is how those code points are represented as bytes in computer memory. For example, the code point U+0041 (letter 'A') might be encoded as 0x41 in UTF-8 or 0x0041 in UTF-16.

How accurate is the code point conversion?

Our tool is 100% accurate and uses the standard Unicode code point mapping. Every code point is correctly converted to its official Unicode character as defined in the Unicode standard. The tool handles all Unicode characters from U+0000 to U+10FFFF.

What are some practical uses for code point conversion?

Code point conversion is used in programming for character encoding, string processing, regular expressions, database storage, web development (HTML entities, CSS content), data analysis, text mining, language detection, search indexing, and many other applications that involve working with international text.
