Product Description:

UnicodeChecker displays detailed information for every code point from the Unicode Standard. The information includes Unicode name, UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings, XHTML entities, mapping info and a lot more.


You can browse characters by code point or find them by their Unicode name.


Several string conversion functions (IDN, XHTML, CSS, Java, etc.) are available from within UnicodeChecker, via the MacOS X "Services" menu and/or via AppleScript

What's new in this version:

  • Extended string (un-)escaping to CSS 1, CSS 2, CSS 2.1, C99, Java and URL formats. Available as “String Utilityâ€? and from AppleScript.
  • Added a Dock menu
  • The “Miscâ€? tab now displays information from the DerivedCoreProperties file.
  • UTF-8 input method error messages mention allowed value ranges for individual bytes more specifically.
  • Property value descriptions are now read from PropertyValueAliases.txt. (Files in “Unicode Descriptionsâ€? folders will override the information from PropertyValueAliases.txt)
  • The Unicode data files PropList, Scripts and DerivedAge were not read correctly in UnicodeChecker 1.8. This bug has been fixed.
  • The keyboard shortcut Command–2 now cycles through the open Utilities windows (or creates a new one if none exists yet). In order to create another Utilities window, use Command–N.
  • UnicodeChecker’s core functionality is available to developers through a framework inside the application bundle.

Hmm, yes this is a well-coded piece of OSXware, but I cannot agree with the happyness around.

Unicodechecker will only check STRINGS. I.e. it is helpful when you need to look up a value for a certain character or so - that is great but I personally would prefer this functionality more integrated in other programs or OSX itself, not in a seperated GUI.

However, what I desperately lack here is a conversion for FILES. UChecker is the most intelligent software I know when it comes to knowing how to convert, but it can't convert...

OKee, I'll search on for something that can change UTF-16 -> UTF-8 without garbling the special characters that happen to have a different encoding but do exist for both file types.

From detailed code point info to conversion to HTML, this gem has it all, in package better designed than many a shareware application. Wish there were more like it...

This is a wonderful utility and should be on the Mac of anyone who uses Unicode. It's also an excellent model of how to write a Mac OS X application, having all the bells and whistles a good Mac application should have.
