Unicode Toolkit - Converter & Highlighter

About

Unicode Toolkit is the ultimate utility for developers, writers, and data specialists. It automatically detects hidden Unicode characters that cause syntax errors and database issues, while providing a powerful suite of conversion tools to transform text formats instantly.

🚀 NEW IN VERSION 2.0: We have expanded beyond just detection. The toolkit now includes a full suite of bidirectional converters for Unicode, ASCII, Hex, Binary, and more.

Why You Need This Extension:
Have you ever copied code that failed to run because of a "smart quote" or an invisible space? Have you struggled to sanitize user input for a database? Unicode Toolkit solves these specific pain points by visualizing the invisible and giving you the tools to fix it.

✨ Core Features:
1. 🔍 Detect & Visualize Hidden Characters Don't let "invisible" gremlins break your work. As you browse or type, the extension instantly highlights problematic characters:

•  Real-time Alerts: See a red border and specific count badge on text fields containing non-ASCII characters.
•  Deep Inspection: Click to see exactly what the character is (e.g., "Em Dash," "Zero Width Space," or "U+2014").
•  Smart Detection: Specifically targets 30+ common "confusables" like smart quotes, different dash types, and mathematical symbols.

2. 🔄 Powerful Text Converters (Popup & Full Page) Access four distinct conversion tools via the popup or right-click context menu:

•  Unicode ↔ ASCII: Instantly sanitize text. Replaces "Smart Quotes" with straight quotes, dashes with hyphens, and strips invisible formatting.

•  Char ↔ Code: The ultimate decoder. Convert a character (e.g., "A") into Decimal (65), Hex (0x41), Unicode (U+0041), and Binary (0b1000001).

•  Codes ↔ Text: Translate raw code points back into readable text and vice versa.

•  String → Codes: Convert full strings into space-separated decimal codes for debugging.

3. 🛠️ Developer-Centric Workflow

•  Context Menu Integration: Right-click any selected text to "Convert with Unicode Tools" instantly.
•  Clipboard Ready: One-click copy for all conversions.
•  Offline & Secure: Works entirely within your browser.
