What is a Unicode code point?

A Unicode code point is a unique numerical value assigned to every character, glyph, and emoji in the Unicode standard, typically written in hexadecimal notation prefixed by 'U+' (for example, U+0041 represents the Latin capital letter 'A').

Understanding Character Encodings & Unicode Points

Unicode standardizes over 149,000 characters covering world scripts, math notation, and emojis. In software engineering, converting special characters into hexadecimal code points (e.g. \u00A9 for ©) prevents encoding mismatches and character corruption when transmitting payloads over legacy protocols.
