Frequently asked questions
What is it for?
To find invisible or odd characters that break code, spreadsheets and searches, like non-breaking spaces, zero-width spaces and curly quotes, and to get the code of an emoji.
Why does an emoji count as several characters?
Many emojis are sequences: a base emoji plus skin tone modifiers, variation selectors or the zero-width joiner (ZWJ). The tool shows each part separately.
