Text to ASCII: Get Character Codes for Any Text

9 min read

Every character in a text has an ASCII (or Unicode) code point. A text-to-ASCII tool shows the code for each character, often as decimal numbers. That is useful for encoding, debugging, or understanding how text is represented. This guide explains when to use it and how to do it in your browser.

What You Get

You paste or type text; the tool outputs the ASCII (or Unicode) code for each character. Format may be space-separated decimals, or one value per line. Some tools also show hex or binary. For characters beyond basic ASCII (e.g. accented letters), the tool may show Unicode code points instead of or in addition to ASCII.

When to Use

  • Encoding and protocols: See the exact byte values for a string.
  • Debugging: Find hidden or non-printable characters (e.g. different kinds of spaces).
  • Learning: Understand how characters map to numbers.
