What the Urdu Unicode Cleanup Report Shows
The Urdu Unicode Cleanup Report scans your text for the things that commonly need tidying and tells you which are present. It looks for hidden characters, kashida stretching, double spaces, compatibility characters, and text that mixes English and Urdu digits, and for each one it recommends the tool that fixes it.
It is a diagnosis, not a repair. The report tells you what is wrong so you can decide what to fix, without touching your text itself.
Everything runs on your own device. Your text is never uploaded or stored, so it stays private while you check it.
How to Check for Cleanup
- Paste your text. Enter text copied from a document, a website, or a chat.
- Read the issues. See which cleanup issues are present and how many of each.
- Follow the advice. Use the recommended tool for each issue you want to fix.
- Copy or download. Copy the report, or save it as a text file.
The Issues It Finds
The report checks for hidden format characters like the zero-width joiner, for kashida characters used to stretch words, for runs of more than one space, for compatibility characters such as the Arabic presentation forms that should be plain letters, and for text that mixes the two digit systems. Each is a common reason a text does not behave as expected.
The Recommendations
For each issue it finds, the report names the tool that fixes it, such as the invisible character cleaner for hidden characters, the kashida remover for stretching, or the compatibility cleaner for presentation forms. This turns the diagnosis into a clear next step.
It Does Not Change Your Text
The report only looks at your text and describes what it finds. It never changes a single character, so you stay in control. When you know what needs fixing, you can run the right cleaner, check the result, and keep only the changes you want.

Who Uses This Report
Editors use it before publishing. Developers use it to check text data. Anyone pasting text from elsewhere uses it to see what needs a tidy.
Accuracy and Limits
The report detects the listed issues exactly, using the browser’s own text handling, and names a tool for each. It flags what commonly needs cleaning; whether a given character should stay is your call, since a kashida or a mark is sometimes wanted.
Good to know: the report checks the issues it lists; it is not a check for every possible problem, so unusual cases may need the inspector.
Your Data Stays Private
The report 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.
