What the Urdu Unicode Text Cleaner Does
The Urdu Unicode Text Cleaner brings the common cleanup fixes together in one place, each with its own switch. You choose which fixes to apply, and the cleaner runs them together and shows the before and after, so you can clean a piece of text in one step instead of visiting several tools.
It covers the everyday problems that text picks up from copying and pasting: hidden characters, control codes, extra spaces, kashida, and text that is not normalized.
Everything runs on your own device. Your text is never uploaded or stored, so it stays private while you clean it.
How to Clean
- Paste your text. Enter the text you want to clean.
- Choose the fixes. Turn on the fixes you want to apply.
- See the change. The before and after previews show the result.
- Copy or download. Copy the cleaned text, or save it as a file.
The Fixes
The cleaner can remove hidden format characters like the zero-width joiner, remove control codes, collapse runs of spaces into one, trim spaces at the ends, remove kashida stretching, and normalize the text to NFC. Each is a switch, so you keep full control over what changes.
The Order They Run
The fixes run in a sensible order: it removes hidden and control characters first, then tidies the spacing, then removes kashida, and normalizes last. Running them together in this order avoids one fix undoing another, so the result is clean and predictable.
Keeping It Safe
The default fixes are the safe ones for everyday Urdu, and normalizing to NFC keeps the text equivalent. Kashida removal is off by default, since a kashida is sometimes wanted for justification. The before and after previews let you confirm the result before you use it.
