Question 1

What does the inspector show for each character?

Accepted Answer

Numeric code point, approximate general category and block, display width, emoji flag, UTF-8 bytes, UTF-16 code units, UTF-32 value, percent encoding, and ready-to-copy escape forms for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java and Python.

Question 2

How does it handle emoji and other supplementary-plane characters?

Accepted Answer

The text is split by code point, so supplementary characters like 😀 (U+1F600) appear as a single chip rather than being broken into two UTF-16 surrogate halves, and each escape form reflects that single code point.

Question 3

Are the category, block and width values authoritative?

Accepted Answer

No — they are hand-written approximations rather than a full Unicode Character Database implementation, so production-sensitive behavior should be checked against current Unicode data.

Question 4

Is the text I inspect uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. Inspection runs entirely in your browser; the input is not transmitted, logged, or stored.
