Unicode code point inspector controls in Elementor
Text sets the starting text, the output format, whether visitors can change it and how many code points are listed. Behaviour turns the encoding columns, the output and live updates on or off. Labels sets the heading and every label and button. The Style tab covers the layout, box height, table, notes and output colours, fields and buttons.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use unicode code point inspector
Text can look right and still hide problems: a Cyrillic letter that passes for a Latin one, a zero-width space, an accent stored as a separate mark, or an emoji built from several pieces. Unicode code point inspector lists every character and the code points inside it, with category, script and encodings, flags lookalikes and invisible characters, and gives escapes to copy.
Debugging text
See invisible characters and combining marks.
Writing code and markup
Copy the right escape for JavaScript, HTML or CSS.

Unicode code point inspector compatibility with Elementor

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot unicode code point inspector
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is one character several rows?
Some characters, such as a skin-tone emoji or an accent written as a separate mark, are built from several code points.
Why is a word flagged as mixed scripts?
It contains letters from more than one alphabet, such as a Cyrillic а among Latin letters, a common trick in fake links.
What does the NFC note mean?
The text contains characters that can be stored two ways; searches and comparisons may treat the two as different.
Why are there no character names?
Names would need a large data file; the code point can be looked up in any Unicode reference.
Unicode code point inspector plugin questions
