Up to 5,000 UTF-16 units. Each unit gets its own row; grapheme segmentation is not performed. Results are generated in a background worker with a 15-second limit.

Open input or save a project

A project contains both input fields and options. Nothing is saved automatically. Keep private inputs out of files you share.

    Read the result notes before using exported files. SVG paper sizes require actual-size printing; browser fit-to-page can change scale. HTML downloads are self-contained reports, not live projects.

    How to use UTF-16 Code Unit Inspector

    1. Load the example to see the expected input format: Text to inspect.
    2. Review the source before processing; no extra settings are required. Open a UTF-8 file if that is easier than pasting.
    3. Choose Create result. Review the table, preview and tool-specific notes; changing an input clears the previous result.
    4. Download the full result or a printable report. Save a project to reopen these inputs and settings later.

    What this tool focuses on

    Inspect JavaScript UTF-16 code units, escape sequences and paired or unpaired surrogate status. Up to 5,000 UTF-16 units. Each unit gets its own row; grapheme segmentation is not performed.

    The displayed table shows up to 100 rows at a time; exports include all supported rows. Parsed JSON uses JavaScript numeric precision, so exact large identifiers should be strings. No input is fetched from a URL or uploaded for this processing. Site advertising and analytics are described in the privacy information.
