Good to know: Copy-pasted text can hide characters you cannot see (zero-width spaces, no-break spaces) that break code, passwords and search. Look-alike Cyrillic letters are used in scams.
How to use it (step by step)
- 1Type or paste your text into the “Text to inspect” box. There is already an example in it so you can see how it works; press Clear to start with your own.
- 2The answer appears right away in the “Characters” box. No button needed.
- 3Press Copy and paste the result wherever you need it.
Words to know
- Invisible character
- A real character that shows as empty space. Apps accept it where they would not accept a truly empty name.
- Unicode / UTF-8
- Unicode gives every character (A, ñ, ₱, 😀) a number. UTF-8 is how those numbers are stored as bytes.
- Byte
- The basic unit of computer storage. One basic letter = 1 byte in UTF-8; ñ = 2 bytes; most emoji = 4 bytes.
