You need to paste the letter
Use Copy NFC character, then paste it into the destination. NFC is a practical default for ordinary interchange.
UNICODE INSPECTION TOOL
Unicode character identifier
Paste or type one character to see its code points, normalized forms, composition, and the closest matching reference on Umlaut Letters.
Analysis happens in this browser. Your input is not sent to analytics. If you paste several characters, only the first character after leading whitespace is inspected.
Paste one character above to see its code points and normalized forms.
What the identifier tells you
The entered form lists the code points currently stored in your character. NFC shows a commonly composed form when Unicode defines one. NFD separates canonical components, so é becomes an ordinary e followed by a combining acute accent.
Two forms can look identical and still contain different code-point sequences. That difference can affect exact string matching, search, validation, cursor movement, and filenames even when the screen renders the same glyph.
How to use the result
You need a complete reference
Open the matching page for language notes, keyboard methods, HTML references, and related forms.
The form rejects the letter
Check its accepted character policy. Do not remove a mark from a person’s name unless the required process explicitly calls for a substitute.
The character looks like a box
The destination font may lack the glyph. That does not prove the Unicode character is invalid.
NFC and NFD are not visual style settings
Normalization changes how canonically equivalent text is encoded, not how large, bold, or decorative it appears. A font controls the visible glyph. Unicode normalization controls a character sequence.
Compatibility forms NFKC and NFKD can collapse additional distinctions, so this tool reports NFC and NFD for diagnosis. Read the normalization guide before changing stored data in bulk.
