About the Text to ASCII Code Converter
Every character has a number. In ASCII, “A” is 65, “a” is 97 and a space is 32. Unicode extends the same numbering to every writing system and to emoji. This converter lists the code of each character in your text, separated by spaces.
For characters in the basic English set, the numbers are the classic ASCII codes. For other characters, they are Unicode code points, so “é” is 233 and “😀” is 128512. Choose hexadecimal if you are working with programming languages or character tables.

Why is an emoji a single large number?
Emoji are Unicode characters with code points above 65,535.
Is the text I enter kept private?
