Convert Text to Decimal

Convert text to decimal character codes. Each character to its Unicode code point. Useful for encoding.

Guide and examples

Converting text to decimal character codes usually means looking up code points or writing a script. The Convert Text to Decimal tool does it in the browser: paste your text, and each character is converted to its Unicode code point (e.g. A = 65)—no sign-up and no data sent to a server.

What does Text to Decimal do?

Convert Text to Decimal is a free online tool that converts each character to its Unicode code point (decimal number). For example, A = 65. Multi-byte characters have one number per character (one code point per character, not per byte). It is used to inspect character codes, prepare numeric escape sequences, or debug encoding issues. All processing happens in your browser.

Key Features

  • Unicode code points — Each character → one decimal number (e.g. A = 65). Emoji and all Unicode characters are supported; each has a single code point. Multi-byte characters have one number per character.
  • Any text — Paste or type any text. No size limit for in-browser processing.
  • Instant result — Paste and see the decimal codes. Copy when ready.
  • Privacy-first — All processing happens in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server.
  • No account — Use as often as you need without sign-up.
  • Educational — See how characters map to code points. Some characters have large numbers (e.g. 128512 for emoji).

How to Use Convert Text to Decimal

  1. Open the Convert Text to Decimal tool.
  2. Paste or type your text (any language, emoji, Unicode).
  3. View the decimal code points (space- or comma-separated). Copy if needed. Use the "Use tool" button on the docs page if you are reading this from the documentation.

Real Use Cases

  • Inspect character codes — See the Unicode code point for each character. Useful for escape sequences (e.g. A for A) or APIs that use code points.
  • Prepare numeric escape sequences — Get decimal values for HTML entities or numeric character references. Use with Convert Decimal to Text to verify.
  • Debug encoding — When a character displays wrong, check its code point. Compare with expected values.
  • APIs and data — Some APIs return or expect code points. Convert text to decimal for requests or parse decimal from responses and decode with decimal-to-text.
  • Teaching — Show Unicode code points in class. Compare with octal and binary using Convert Text to Octal and Convert Text to Binary.
  • Documentation — List code points for a string in specs or tutorials.

Why Use Convert Text to Decimal Instead of Alternatives?

  • vs. Decimal to Text — Convert Decimal to Text decodes decimal code points to text. This tool encodes text to decimal.
  • vs. Text to Octal/Binary — Those tools use base-8 or binary. This tool uses decimal (base-10) code points. Use when you need numeric form (e.g. for HTML entities).
  • vs. Manual lookup — No need to look up each character in a Unicode table.
  • vs. Scripts — No coding. Works in any browser.

Unicode code points can be large (e.g. 128512 for emoji). The tool uses the full code point, not just the ASCII value.

Benefits for Developers, Educators, and Content Authors

  • Developers — Quick code point lookup for escape sequences or encoding bugs.
  • Educators — Teach Unicode and character encoding with real examples.
  • Content authors — Find decimal values for HTML entities or special characters.

Common Mistakes

  • Large numbers for some characters — Unicode code points can be large (e.g. 128512 for emoji). The tool uses the full code point, not just the ASCII value.
  • Expecting one number per byte — This tool uses one number per character (code point). Multi-byte UTF-8 encoding is not shown per-byte; use text-to-octal or text-to-binary for byte-level view.
  • Using for decimal-to-text — This tool is text → decimal. For decimal → text use Convert Decimal to Text.
  • Forgetting to copy — The result is not saved. Copy before closing the tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does text to decimal do?

It converts each character to its Unicode code point (decimal number). For example, A = 65. Multi-byte characters have one number per character.

What decimal values are used?

Unicode code points (e.g. A = 65). Multi-byte characters have one number per character.

What input does it accept?

Paste or type any text. Emoji and all Unicode characters are supported; each has a single code point.

Is my text stored?

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your text is never sent to any server.

When should I use text to decimal?
