About

character.codes is a free, open-source reference for every character code you might need. Whether you're writing HTML, working with Unicode, dropping in an emoji, or looking up an ASCII value, everything is one click away.

Categories

  • HTML Entities — named and numeric references for common symbols
  • Unicode — code points for arrows, math operators, box drawing, and more
  • Emoji — popular emoji with their Unicode code points
  • ASCII — the classic 0–127 character set with decimal and hex values
  • URL Encode / Decode — instantly percent-encode or decode any string

How it works

Browse or search a category, then click any card to copy the character to your clipboard. Each card shows the rendered character along with its relevant codes so you can paste exactly what you need.

Tech stack

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. The site is entirely static — no server, no database, no tracking. It's designed to be fast, accessible, and distraction-free.
