Unicode Inspector – Break down Strings and Turn Them into Codepoints

Unicode Inspector is a browser extension that shows you the code points that make up any given Unicode string. You can use it to find the exact meaning of any string of code points, and it also provides you with the ability to edit any given code point and see how that changes the string.

This extension allows you to browse the Unicode characters in the web browser. When you click on any of the characters, you will get the option to download the character in the form of a file that is supported by your browser. You can now save that string in a file, edit the characters and see what happens to the string.

To save memory, the character data is loaded using a multi-level table, so it is only loaded into memory once, and then used on a block-by-block basis. To save on storage, the characters are also stored as a byte array and the character can be edited in a byte.

The characters are loaded using the name and code point number; as the name can be loaded into memory using the character data, the browser does not need to download the character.
