UTF-16 Decoder

The UTF-16 Decoder converts UTF-16 hexadecimal byte representation back to readable text. UTF-16 is a character encoding that represents each Unicode code point with either one or two 16-bit code units. It is used in many operating systems and programming languages.

This tool accepts space-separated hexadecimal values representing UTF-16 code units and converts them back to their corresponding characters. It properly handles surrogate pairs for characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), which require two 16-bit code units to represent a single character.

Common Uses:

• Decoding UTF-16 encoded data
• Analyzing and debugging text encoding issues
• Converting UTF-16 data to human-readable format
• Recovering text from hexadecimal representation
• Educational purposes for understanding UTF-16
• Converting data from Windows applications and .NET frameworks
• Examining the character composition of multilingual text
