UTF-16 Encoder

The UTF-16 Encoder converts text to its UTF-16 hexadecimal byte representation. 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.

For characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), UTF-16 uses a single 16-bit code unit. For characters outside the BMP, UTF-16 uses a pair of 16-bit code units called surrogate pairs. This makes UTF-16 efficient for representing a wide range of characters.

Common Uses:

• Understanding character encoding in systems that use UTF-16
• Debugging text encoding issues
• Working with binary data
• Analyzing international text
• Educational purposes for understanding UTF-16
• Working with Windows APIs and .NET applications
• Processing text for systems that require UTF-16 encoding
