Inspect your Urdu text one character at a time, in a table that names each character and flags the hidden, combining, or unusual ones you might not have noticed.
Quick Answer
The Urdu Unicode Character Inspector breaks your text into a table, one row per character, with the code point, name, and category. It flags the characters worth a second look, the invisible ones, the combining marks, and anything unusual, so you can audit a piece of text at a glance. Everything runs in your browser.

What the Urdu Unicode Character Inspector Does
The Urdu Unicode Character Inspector breaks your text into a table with one row for each character. Every row shows the character, its code point, its name, and its category, and a note flags the characters that are worth a second look.
Where the details tool goes deep on a single character, this inspector scans a whole string, which makes it the tool for auditing text and finding the character that is causing trouble.
Everything runs on your own device. Your text is never uploaded or stored, so it stays private while you inspect it.
How to Inspect Text
- Paste your text. Enter the text you want to inspect.
- Read the table. See every character with its code point, name, and category.
- Check the flags. Look at the rows marked with a note for hidden or combining characters.
- Copy or download. Copy the report, or save it as a text file.
The Character Table
Each row of the table is one character. The character column shows the glyph, or a label for an invisible character and a dotted circle for a combining mark, so nothing is hidden. The code point, name, and category columns tell you exactly what the character is.
The Warning Flags
The note column flags the characters that often cause problems: the invisible format characters like the zero-width joiner and the direction marks, the combining marks that sit on a letter, the non-breaking space, and anything outside the ranges you would expect in Urdu. A flagged row is highlighted so it stands out.
Auditing Text
When a piece of text behaves oddly, a stray invisible character is often the cause. The inspector lists every character, so you can find the one that does not belong, confirm what it is, and decide whether to keep it or remove it with one of the cleaner tools.

Who Uses This Inspector
Developers use it to debug text. Editors use it to find stray characters. Anyone with text that behaves oddly uses it to find the cause.
Accuracy and Limits
The inspector lists every character exactly, with its code point and category, and flags the invisible, combining, and out-of-range characters. The category and name use the same rules as the other tools here; the name is a general description where a specific Unicode name is not in the built-in list.
Good to know: to see one flagged character in full, copy it into the character details tool.
Your Data Stays Private
The inspector runs fully in your browser with standard web technology. Your text is not uploaded or stored, and it is not sent to any analytics service. Only your star rating is sent, to record the tool’s rating. When you close the page, your text is gone.
