Turn code points into characters and characters into code points, both ways, whether you paste a U plus code, a plain hex number, an HTML entity, or the character itself.
Quick Answer
The Urdu Unicode Code Point Lookup works both ways. Give it code points, as U plus codes, hex, decimal, or HTML entities, and it shows the characters. Give it characters and it shows the code points. It handles a whole list at once. Everything runs in your browser.

What the Urdu Unicode Code Point Lookup Does
The Urdu Unicode Code Point Lookup converts between code points and characters in both directions. Paste one or more code points and it gives you the characters they stand for; paste characters and it gives you their code points. It is the quick two-way converter for when you are working with codes.
It reads the common ways a code point is written, so you can paste a code from a font, a spec, or some source code without reformatting it first.
Everything runs on your own device. Your input is never uploaded or stored, so it stays private.
How to Look Up
- Paste your input. Enter code points, or the characters you want the codes for.
- Read the result. See the characters, or the list of code points.
- Check the preview. When you convert codes to characters, see them in the preview.
- Copy or download. Copy the result, or save it as a text file.
The Formats It Reads
For code points, the lookup reads the U plus form like U+0679, a plain hex number like 0679, the code escape like backslash u 0679, and the HTML entities, both the decimal and the hex forms. You can mix these in one input, and it converts each to its character.
Characters to Code Points
If your input is characters rather than code points, the lookup switches direction and lists the code point of each character, as U plus hex, with a short note. This is the fast way to get the codes for a word or a run of marks.
Hex and Decimal
Code points are usually written in hex, so a plain number is read as hex by default. If your numbers are decimal, turn on the decimal option and a plain number is read as decimal instead. The U plus, escape, and entity forms are always read as written.

Who Uses This Lookup
Developers use it to turn codes into characters and back. Designers use it to find a glyph from a code. Students use it to learn code points.
Accuracy and Limits
The conversion is done with the browser’s own text handling, so it is exact in both directions. When a whole input reads as code points, it converts codes to characters; otherwise it reads the input as characters, so a stray letter will switch the direction, which the result makes clear.
Good to know: for the full details of one character, use the character details tool; this lookup keeps to the code and the glyph.
Your Data Stays Private
The lookup runs fully in your browser with standard web technology. Your input 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 input is gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Urdu Unicode Code Point Lookup do?
It converts both ways: code points to the characters they stand for, and characters to their code points, handling a whole list at once.
What formats can I paste?
For code points, the U plus form, plain hex, the code escape, and the HTML decimal and hex entities. You can mix them in one input.
How does it know which direction I want?
If the whole input reads as code points, it gives characters; otherwise it reads the input as characters and gives their code points.
Are plain numbers hex or decimal?
Hex by default, since code points are usually written in hex. Turn on the decimal option to read plain numbers as decimal instead.
How is this different from character search?
Search finds a character by its name; this lookup converts between a code point and its character, in both directions.
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?
