One idea, three depths

Choose how deeply to explain Unicode code points

Unicode code points: Convert text to Unicode code points and U+ notation, or decode code points into text.

Age 5Explain it to a 5-year-oldStart with a picture

Imagine giving two files a special fingerprint so a computer can tell whether they are exactly the same. Convert text to Unicode code points and U+ notation, or decode code points into text.

Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula

Convert text to Unicode code points and U+ notation, or decode code points into text. Unicode code points identify characters independently of their eventual UTF-8 or UTF-16 byte encoding. Change one input or choice at a time and compare the result to see which part of the rule it controls.

The browser applies the selected hash, encoding, verification, or classical-cipher algorithm locally. Unicode code points identify characters independently of their eventual UTF-8 or UTF-16 byte encoding. Entries and results remain in this browser. Important results should still be checked against the records, standards, or rules that govern the real situation.

How this tool works

Clear answers

Frequently asked questions

What does the Unicode code points do?

Convert text to Unicode code points and U+ notation, or decode code points into text.

How does the Unicode code points work?

Unicode code points identify characters independently of their eventual UTF-8 or UTF-16 byte encoding.

What can I learn from the Unicode code points?

It shows how the entered values or choices produce the result. Change one input at a time to compare outcomes and understand the underlying rule.

Does MW SysArc receive or store what I enter?

No. The calculation runs locally in your browser. MW SysArc does not receive or store your calculation inputs.

How should I use the result?

Use the result as a practical reference. Review the inputs, assumptions and stated limitations before relying on it.
