Frequently asked questions
- What is a Unicode codepoint?
- A codepoint is the numeric identifier assigned to each Unicode character, written as U+ followed by hex digits (for example U+1F600 for a grinning face emoji). It is independent of how the character is encoded in bytes.
- What is a Unicode block?
- Blocks are named ranges of related codepoints, like "Basic Latin," "Cyrillic," or "Emoticons." Knowing the block helps explain why a character renders or sorts in unexpected ways.
- Why does one emoji show up as multiple codepoints?
- Modern emoji often combine a base character with skin-tone modifiers, gender signs, or zero-width joiners to form a single visible glyph. The inspector breaks the sequence into its component codepoints.
