Is This ASCII Or Unicode?

Both. Codes are Unicode code points, which agree with ASCII for the first 128 characters — so it handles plain ASCII perfectly and everything beyond it too.

What Separators Can I Use When Decoding?

Spaces, commas, semicolons and new lines all work, in any mix.

Why Were Some Tokens Skipped?

Tokens that are not valid numbers in the selected base, or that fall outside the valid code point range, are skipped and counted so the rest still decodes.

Codes are Unicode code points, so every character works — classic ASCII is simply the 0 to 127 range. Separate codes with spaces or commas when decoding; hex accepts an optional 0x prefix.

What Is the ASCII Converter?

The ASCII Converter turns text into its character codes and character codes back into text, in decimal, hexadecimal or octal. Codes are full Unicode code points, so accented letters, symbols and any other character work — classic ASCII is simply the 0 to 127 range. Conversion happens live as you type and a swap button flips the direction using the current result.

How It Works

Pick the direction and number base, then type or paste. When decoding, separate codes with spaces or commas; hexadecimal accepts an optional 0x prefix and invalid tokens are skipped with a count so you know something was dropped.

When to Use It

Use it for programming homework, debugging encodings, reading escape sequences, puzzle hunts and anywhere character codes show up instead of readable text.
