  2. Adjust the options if the tool has any – the result updates instantly.

How it works

Shows visible characters (grapheme clusters) separately from Unicode code points, so an emoji counts as one character but several code points.

Frequently asked questions

Why do characters and code points differ?

Some visible characters, such as emoji, are built from several code points.

Is the text I type sent to a server?

No. Conversion runs in your browser and your text is not uploaded.
