# UnicodeKit

> Find and copy any Unicode character: search symbols, arrows, emoji, and letters by name, codepoint, or meaning, and get each one's HTML entity, CSS escape, and UTF-8 bytes. Covers every assigned character in Unicode 18.0.0.

Every page has a Markdown version: add `.md` to its URL, or send `Accept: text/markdown`. The JSON API is free and MIT-licensed, needs no key, and allows cross-origin requests.

## Pages

- [Character](https://unicodekit.com/char/2192.md): `/char/<hex codepoint>`, for example /char/2192 for →. Name, what it is, block, script, category, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and UTF-8/UTF-16 codes, and related characters.
- [Block](https://unicodekit.com/block/arrows.md): `/block/<slug>`, for example /block/arrows. All of a Unicode block's characters.
- [Selected characters](https://unicodekit.com/collection/selected.md): The Unicode characters people reach for most: arrows, shade blocks, the command key, currency signs, stars, superscripts, and fractions. 36 characters to copy, like ← ↑ → ↓ ⇄ ⇅ ↖ ↗ ↘ ↙.
