Unicode Reference

Input any character to the input field above or consult the Help instructions in the right column. The reference refreshes automatically after each input so there is no need to empty the field before the next input.

The reference combines information form several sources to provide:

decimal and hexidecimal codes of elements
HTML and MathML entity names
TEX instructions for writting individual characters
usability of characters in XML documents and URI (including escape sequences)
links to the official unicode charts
several ways how to find a character including keywords, scripts, and similarity with other characters

The reference has been prepared by Miloslav Nic (Mila) from the following sources:

Unicode Character Database (UCD)

for Unicode 5.2.0
Python 2.6 modules:

unicodedata and htmlentitydefs
Characters Ordered by MathML Names

from Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0
