See the set of unique characters in your text, each mapped to its Unicode code point, with how many times it appears.
Quick Answer
The Urdu Character Mapping Viewer builds a map of the unique characters in your text. It lists each distinct character once, with its Unicode code point, block, and how many times it appears, so you can see the full character set a piece of text uses. Everything runs in your browser.

What the Urdu Character Mapping Viewer Does
The Urdu Character Mapping Viewer shows the set of unique characters in your text. Instead of listing every character in order, it lists each distinct one once, mapped to its Unicode code point, with its block and a count of how many times it appears.
This is the quickest way to see the whole character set a piece of text draws on, including any character that turns up only once.
Everything runs on your own device. Your text is never uploaded or stored, so it stays private while you map it.
How to View the Map
- Paste your text. Enter any Urdu or mixed text.
- Read the map. Each unique character appears once, with its code point and count.
- Choose the order. Sort by frequency, and show the Unicode block.
- Copy or download. Copy the map, or save it as a text file.
The Unique Character Set
The viewer collapses repeated characters into one row each, so a long text with many repeats becomes a short, clear list. This is the character set of the text, which is useful for checking font coverage or spotting an odd character.
Counts and Sorting
Each row shows how many times the character appears. You can sort the map by that count, so the most common characters come first, or leave it in the order the characters first appear. Either way, the counts add up to the total length of the text.
Blocks in the Map
Each character is labelled with its Unicode block, so you can see at a glance whether the text is all Arabic script, or mixes in Latin letters, punctuation, and digits. A stray character from an unexpected block stands out.

Who Uses This Viewer
Type designers use it to see the character set a sample uses. Developers use it to check font coverage. Anyone curious about a text uses it to see its unique characters.
Accuracy and Limits
The viewer reads each character’s code point exactly and counts the occurrences precisely. It names the block from the Unicode ranges. It treats a base letter and a separate combining mark as two characters, since they have different code points.
Good to know: to see every character in order rather than the unique set, use the Arabic script Unicode viewer.
Your Data Stays Private
The viewer 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Urdu Character Mapping Viewer do?
It lists the unique characters in your text, each mapped to its Unicode code point, with its block and how many times it appears.
How is it different from a character viewer?
A viewer lists every character in order, while this maps the unique set, listing each distinct character once with a count.
Can I sort the map?
Yes. You can sort by how often each character appears, or leave it in the order the characters first show up.
Do the counts add up to the length?
Yes. The counts across all unique characters add up to the total number of characters in the text.
Are combining marks counted separately?
Yes. A base letter and a separate combining mark have different code points, so they are two entries.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, saved, or shared.
Is this tool free?
Yes, it is completely free and needs no account to use.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It works on phones, tablets, and computers.
