Text to Decimal
Convert text to decimal character codes — Unicode values for every character.
How to use Text to Decimal
- Type or paste your text — anything from a word to a paragraph, emoji included.
- Read the decimal code points instantly, one per character: "€5" → 8364 53.
- Investigate oddities: paste suspicious copied text and look for 160, 8203 or other invisible-character codes among the expected values.
- Click “Copy result” — prepend &# and append ; to any code for an HTML entity.
What is Text to Decimal?
A text to decimal converter outputs the numeric code point of every character in your text, in base 10: "Hi" → 72 105, é → 233, € → 8364, 😀 → 128512. For English letters this matches classic ASCII; beyond that it continues into the full Unicode range, which today numbers over 150,000 characters.
Decimal code points are what programming functions actually return — JavaScript's codePointAt(), Python's ord() — and what HTML numeric entities use: € renders as €. Seeing them per character demystifies encoding at a glance.
About the Text to Decimal
Type or paste any text — including accents, symbols and emoji — and each character's decimal code point appears instantly, space-separated.
Concrete uses: finding the number for an HTML entity (™ → 8482 → ™), checking what ord() will return before writing the code, hunting invisible troublemakers in copied text (a non-breaking space reveals itself as 160 instead of 32, a zero-width space as 8203), and comparing visually identical characters that differ in code — the source of many "why doesn't this string match" bugs.
Conversion is live and local to your browser. Decimal to Text decodes the other direction; Text to Hex gives the same code points in base 16 (the U+ notation).
