What the converter does

Read the format, not just the symbol

An emoji symbol is not always a single Unicode code point. Complex visible glyphs—such as flags, skin-tone variants, professions, and gender sequences—are composed of multiple code points joined by variation selectors or zero-width joiners. This tool breaks down any emoji string into its exact Unicode code points, hexadecimal and decimal values, UTF-8 byte sequences, UTF-16 code units, and HTML entities.

Supported input formats

  • Single Unicode code point emojis (e.g. 😀 U+1F600)
  • Emoji with variation selectors (e.g. ❤️ U+2764 U+FE0F)
  • Emoji with skin-tone modifiers (e.g. 👍🏽 U+1F44D U+1F3FD)
  • Zero-width joiner (ZWJ) sequences (e.g. 👩‍💻 U+1F469 U+200D U+1F4BB)
  • Regional indicator country flags (e.g. 🇮🇳 U+1F1EE U+1F1F3)
  • Keycap combinations and tag sequences (e.g. 1️⃣ U+0031 U+FE0F U+20E3)

How to use it

Convert in three steps

  1. 1

    Paste any emoji, emoji sequence, or plain text string into the input area.

  2. 2

    Inspect the parsed code points, hexadecimal/decimal values, UTF byte structures, and sequence type breakdown.

  3. 3

    Copy individual format outputs or copy all generated encodings with one click.

Common use cases

When this format helps

  • Document exact Unicode code points and HTML entities in technical documentation and APIs.
  • Debug hidden variation selectors (U+FE0F) and zero-width joiners (U+200D) causing rendering inconsistencies.
  • Convert emoji characters to UTF-8 byte sequences or UTF-16 surrogate pairs for low-level string processing.
  • Calculate real string character counts when standard string length methods fail on surrogate pairs.

Technical notes and common errors

Small encoding details can change the visible result. Keep these checks in mind.

Technical notes

  • Unicode code points logically identify characters using U+ notation (such as U+1F600 for Grinning Face).
  • UTF-8 encodes supplementary emoji code points into 4-byte sequences (e.g., F0 9F 98 80), whereas UTF-16 uses 2-unit surrogate pairs (e.g., D83D DE00).
  • U+FE0F (Variation Selector-16) forces full-color emoji presentation rather than monochrome text rendering.
  • U+200D (Zero-Width Joiner) glues adjacent Unicode characters into a single combined emoji sequence.
  • Skin-tone modifiers span U+1F3FB through U+1F3FF (Fitzpatrick scale types 1-2 to 6) following base gesture characters.
