Character Map

Unicode is a universal character encoding standard that assigns a unique number (code point) to every character in every writing system. It supports over 149,000 characters across 161 scripts. Without Unicode, computers could only display characters from one language at a time. Unicode enables multilingual text, emoji, mathematical symbols, and special characters to coexist in a single document.

Use the search bar to search by Unicode code point (e.g., U+0041 for 'A') or by typing the character directly. You can also browse by Unicode block — select a category like 'Arrows', 'Mathematical Operators', or 'Box Drawing' to see all characters in that range. Click any character to copy it and view its details.

Combining diacritical marks are Unicode characters that attach to the preceding character to modify it — adding accents, dots, lines, or other marks above or below. For example, combining an 'a' with a combining acute accent (U+0301) produces 'á'. The Combining Chars tab lets you experiment with adding multiple marks to any base character.
