Unicode to UTF-8

View UTF-8 bytes for your text.

For code points use forms such as U+0041, U+1F600 or 0x00E9, separated by spaces or commas. For bytes use hexadecimal such as C3 A9.

What does this tool do?

Convert between Unicode text, Unicode code points and UTF-8 bytes shown in hexadecimal.

Why is it useful?

Viewing UTF-8 bytes can help investigate text encoding and interoperability problems.

How to use it

  1. Choose the conversion direction and enter text, hexadecimal UTF-8 bytes or Unicode code points.
  2. Use U+0041 or 0x0041 notation for code points and hexadecimal pairs for bytes.
  3. Review the result; invalid byte sequences and surrogate code points are rejected.

What the result can and cannot tell you

This tool uses strict UTF-8 and Unicode scalar values; it does not convert other character encodings.
