This online utility encodes Unicode data to UTF-16 encoding. Anything that you paste or enter in the input area automatically gets converted to UTF-16 and is printed in the output area. It supports all Unicode symbols and it works with emoji characters. You can switch between Big Endian and Little Endian byte order formats and use any base from 2 to 36 for the output UTF-16 units. You can also change the separator between the units, add a base-indicating prefix, and pad them to full words. Created by encoding gurus from team Browserling.

This browser-based utility converts your Unicode text to UTF-16 encoding. UTF (Unicode Transformation Format) is a mapping from every Unicode code point to a unique two- or four-byte sequence. UTF-16 uses a single 16-bit code unit to encode the first 65,000 most common characters (up to code position U+FFFF, which covers the entire basic multilingual plane) or a pair of 16-bit code units (called a surrogate pair) to encode all remaining code points in the supplementary multilingual plane and other 15 Unicode planes (code points starting at U+10000 and ending at U+10FFFF). The surrogates are composed of two parts β the high surrogate in range U+D800 - U+DBFF (1,024 code points) and the low surrogate in range U+DC00 - U+DFFF (also 1,024 code points). With this tool, you can output the encoded bytes in any radix from 2 to 36. Use the radix dropdown to quickly select one of the most commonly used radixes, such as binary, octal, decimal, and hex bases, or select the custom radix option to use any other radix. You can switch between the Big Endian (BE) and Little Endian (LE) byte order formats. The BE form puts the most significant byte first and is the dominant ordering for processor and memory architectures. The LE form puts the least significant byte first and is the dominant ordering in networking protocols. UTF-16 supports the byte order mark (BOM) prefix that signals its endianness. BOM for UTF-16BE is 0xfeff and for UTF-16LE it's 0xfffe. You can choose if you want to include BOM in the output. You can also adjust the output by setting a separator character between all 16-bit units. You can improve the byte format by adding the radix prefix in front of binary units ("0b"), octal units ("o"), and hex units ("0x"). Also, you can pad units with zeros to get a full-word length. For binary units, the word length is 16 characters, for octal units, it's 6 characters, and for hex, it's 4 characters.

In this example, we encode Aristotle's quote to the UTF16 Big Endian encoding in hexadecimal (base-16) numeral system. We map each Unicode sans-serif italic letter to a pair of 16-bit code units (surrogates). We also pad the output words with zeros and split them apart with a space character.
This example converts a cute Unicode face to UTF16-encoded octal bytes in the Little Endian (LE) order. The octal bytes are also padded to their full lengths. Padding in LE order happens at the end of bytes because in LE the little end comes first, so zeros are added at the end. Each padded unit in the octal radix has a length of 6 digits (a unit is two bytes and each byte is 3 octal digits). It also uses the prefix "o", as well as prepends the byte order mark (BOM) so that there was no confusion about the output base and byte order, and it separates byte pairs with a semicolon symbol.
In this example, we convert a list of plant emoji to the UTF-16 encoding. We use a custom base and set its value to the prime number 31. We also use the Big Endian byte order format for the output. In this byte order, the units and surrogate pairs are formatted so that the most significant bytes come first. We further customize the unit format by placing underscore characters between them.
