Unicode Character Lookup API

Unicode Character Lookup is a Unicode lookup API that inspects any character, symbol or hex codepoint to find its decimal value, hex notation, and UTF-16 encoding. The response also identifies the character category and supplies names for emoji.

The Unicode Character Lookup API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate unicode character lookup functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready unicode character lookup capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
