Character Inspector & ASCII/Unicode Viewer
Analyze every character in your string. This inspector breaks down your text to reveal the exact ASCII code, Unicode hex value, and HTML entity for every single keystroke.
Deep Text Analysis
For developers, translators, and data scientists, knowing the exact encoding of a character is crucial. Our Character Inspector dissects your input string character by character. It reveals whether that seemingly normal quote mark is a standard ASCII quote or a smart quote, helping you debug encoding issues, database collation errors, and internationalization bugs.
