Hex Code to Unicode Converter
This Hex Code to Unicode Converter allows you to convert hexadecimal codes used in HTML entity notation into Unicode code points.
This is especially useful for web developers, designers, and anyone working with special characters or symbols in HTML. By providing the hex code in the form ...;
, this tool will return the corresponding Unicode code point in the form of U+....
.
Why is this Conversion Useful?
In web development, you might often come across special characters that are represented using their hexadecimal Unicode equivalents, particularly in HTML. These are called HTML entities. For example, the copyright symbol (©) is represented as ©
. Understanding and converting these hexadecimal representations to their actual Unicode equivalents is essential for ensuring that your website displays characters correctly across different browsers and devices.
Unicode is a global standard for encoding characters, and it assigns a unique code point to every character from different languages and symbol sets. When working with internationalization or special symbols, using Unicode ensures that your content will display consistently. The converter tool allows you to easily map hexadecimal HTML entity codes to their corresponding Unicode points.
How to Use this Hex Code to Unicode Converter
- In the provided text area, enter the hexadecimal code you want to convert. Make sure the hex code follows the format
....;
, which is the standard representation for HTML entities. - As and when you are entering the input, the conversion process takes place in realtime.
- The tool will process the input and display the equivalent Unicode code point in the format
U+....
. - The tool displays how this hex code, or equivalent unicode is displayed in the browser, in the Preview section.
Example:
Let's consider an example where you input the following hex code:
❤
(which represents the heart symbol ❤).
After conversion, the tool will return:
U+02764
, which is the Unicode representation of the heart symbol.
You can use this Unicode code point in different programming environments to render the heart symbol directly.
Multiple Hex Codes
This converter is not limited to a single hex code. You can input multiple hex codes, separated by spaces or commas, and it will convert each one to its corresponding Unicode point. For example, if you input:
👍😂❤
The tool will output:
U+1F44D U+1F602 U+02764
and in the Preview area, you will see
👍 😂 ❤
.
This means that the hex codes for the thumbs-up emoji, the face with tears of joy emoji, and the heart symbol are converted into their Unicode counterparts.
Handling Different Input Formats
The tool is designed to be flexible and can handle various formats of input. Whether your hex codes are separated by spaces, commas, or a mix of both, the converter will accurately extract the hexadecimal values and convert them into Unicode. Additionally, if your input contains any invalid characters or non-hexadecimal values, those will be ignored, ensuring a clean conversion process.
