Unicode Character Code Charts The Unicode Character Code Charts By Script, by Unicode Consortium. If you are trying to find a specific character in Unicode, the first place to go is to the code charts. For each character defined in Unicode you will find an assigned code point: a hexadecimal number that is used to represent that character in computer data. You may not find the character in what you think is the obvious spot. While the characters in Unicode are grouped into blocks, this is only a rough grouping because characters can be categorized many different ways. Thus you may need to look in several locations to find your character. You may not find a character simply because the charts do not specify the exact shape; they only provide a representative shape for identification. For example, a lowercase Cyrillic p could appear with any of the following character shapes ( also called glyphs ): п ( Cyrillic ) or n ( russian ). In some rare instances, you will find apparently identical characters. In most cases, if not all, this is to maintain compatibility with the original source standards for Unicode: vendor, national, and international character standards in wide usage in 1990. For compatibility with pre-existing standards, there are characters that are equivalently represented either as sequences of code points or as a single code point called a composite character. For example, the i with 2 dots in naïve could be presented either as i + diaeresis ( 0069 0308 ) or as the composite character i + diaeresis ( 00EF ). To get a list of code charts for a character, enter its code in the search box at the top of the linked page. Tables are available in PDF format.
