Unicode-Nachschlagwerk

The Unicode Lookup tool lets you enter any U+ codepoint and instantly see the corresponding character along with its name, codepoint notation, and all common encoding representations. It is the fastest way to go from a hex codepoint to a rendered character.

Type a codepoint in either U+XXXX format (e.g., U+2713) or just the hex digits (e.g., 2713) and press Lookup or Enter. The tool displays the character, its Unicode name, and encodings for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python.

The tool accepts both the standard U+ prefix format (U+1F600) and bare hexadecimal digits (1F600). Leading zeros are optional, so U+00A9 and A9 both work.

For each codepoint you look up, the tool shows the rendered character, its official Unicode name, the U+ notation, and encoding representations including HTML entity, HTML decimal, HTML hex, CSS escape, JavaScript escape, and Python escape.

Yes — emoji are standard Unicode characters and you can look up their codepoints. For example, U+1F600 resolves to the grinning face emoji. Emoji above U+FFFF (supplementary plane) are fully supported.

Unicode Lookup is codepoint-first: you start with a hex value and retrieve the character. Symbol Search is name-first: you start with a keyword and find matching characters. Both tools show encoding details, but Lookup is more useful when you already know the codepoint.

Developers use it to quickly convert a codepoint seen in documentation or source code into a rendered character, and to get the exact escape sequence needed for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or Python without memorizing syntax.

Yes — the tool handles the full Unicode range including supplementary planes (U+10000 and above). This covers emoji, historic scripts, mathematical symbols, and other characters outside the original 16-bit range.

Yes — each encoding row has a copy button so you can grab the exact value you need, whether that is an HTML entity, a CSS escape like \2713, or a Python string like \u2713, without any manual formatting.

A U+ codepoint is the unique identifier assigned to every character in the Unicode Standard, written as U+ followed by a hexadecimal number (e.g., U+0041 for the letter A). The Unicode Standard assigns a codepoint to over 149,000 characters covering all modern and many historic writing systems.
