Frequently asked questions
Does Unicode Character Inspector handle Unicode correctly?+
Yes. Unicode Character Inspector is UTF-8 aware, so multi-byte characters such as emoji, accents and non-Latin scripts encode and decode without corruption.
Is encoding the same as encryption?+
No. Encoding only changes how data is represented so it can travel safely through text systems — anyone can reverse it. It provides no secrecy; use an encryption tool when you need confidentiality.

Yes. Unicode Character Inspector is completely free with no sign-up, no account, no usage limits and no watermarks. Use it as often as you like.
Does Unicode Character Inspector send my data to a server?+
No. Unicode Character Inspector runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript — your input never leaves your device, which makes it safe for private API payloads, schemas and source code.
