How to use this tool
- Paste text, optionally with a second value to compare.
- Inspect code points and choose a Unicode normalisation form.
- Compatibility forms can change the meaning of symbols; inspect the output before use.
Things to know
- Removing zero-width or direction controls can change language rendering. This option is off by default.
- Code-point detail is limited to the first 10,000 characters; the complete transformed text is returned.
- Each text input accepts up to 5 MiB. Output is limited to 25 MiB and combined text settings to 1 MiB.
- Line-based modes accept up to 100,000 lines, including a trailing empty line.
- Code-point detail shows the first 10,000 points. Compatibility-normalisation expansion is checked before producing the full text.
