Base64 encoded string containing Unicode characters
Unicode is a universal character encoding standard that assigns a unique code point to every character across all writing systems. When encoding Unicode text in Base64, the UTF-8 byte representation is used.
Base64 encoding works on the byte level, so Unicode characters are first converted to their UTF-8 byte sequence, then encoded to Base64. This tool reverses that process, showing you both the decoded text and the underlying Unicode code points.
Unicode is the character set that assigns code points to characters, while UTF-8 is the encoding that represents those code points as bytes. Base64 encodes the UTF-8 bytes, not the Unicode code points directly.
UTF-8 uses variable-length encoding. ASCII characters use 1 byte, while many international characters require 2-4 bytes to represent their Unicode code point.
Each code point (U+XXXX) is a unique identifier for a character in the Unicode standard, allowing computers to handle text from any writing system consistently.
