This browser-based utility converts fancy Unicode text back to regular text. All Unicode glyphs that you paste or enter in the text area as the input automatically get converted to simple ASCII characters in the output. It normalizes Unicode letters, numbers, punctuation marks, ligatures, as well as Emojis that contain letters. You can configure this tool to output some of the characters as-is and also control the case of the output text. Created by encoding gurus from team Browserling.

This online web application normalizes Unicode text. It converts all typographic Unicode glyphs to readable English characters from the ASCII charset. It supports over twenty different alphabets, a dozen of Unicode fonts, and it's also capable of recognizing letters by their shape. The tool transforms all letter-like symbols into letters of the English alphabet. It can normalize ligatures, for example, "ใ" as "km" and "ใ" as "ln", and word glyphs, for example, "๐" as "NEW" and "๐" as "OK". It also works with many numeric and math fonts and converts Unicode digits into regular Latin numerals 0 to 9 from the code position range U+0030 to U+0039. It can also normalize multi-digit numbers, for example, "โซ" to "12" and "ใ" to "60", as well as fractions, for example, "ยฝ" to "1/2" and "โ " to "3/5". It replaces fake punctuation marks with ASCII punctuation marks, for example, an emoji question mark "โ" (U+2753) gets converted to a regular question mark "?" (U+003F), and a sine wave "โฟ" (U+223F) gets normalized to an ordinary tilde "~" (U+007E). It also normalizes all Unicode spaces and removes spaces of zero width. This app can also clear the combining characters in any text, as well as remove the Zalgo effect from the text and return clean symbols. If you want to preserve certain Unicode characters, you can enter them in the option skip symbols option field. The listed glyphs will then remain unchanged. You can also control the case of text letters in the output by letting the program automatically determine the case from the input, capitalizing only the first letter of each sentence, or turning all characters into upper or lower case.

In this example, we normalize a dialogue from the cartoon The Penguins of Madagascar. Skipper's lines are written in a monospace font and Kowalski's replies use a bold-italic sans-serif font. In the input dialogue, there are also many weird commas, dots, dashes, and question marks. The program splits the text into individual graphemes and then for each grapheme finds the corresponding character in the ASCII table. All output characters are in the range from U+0000 to U+007F and have the same case as the input Unicode glyphs.
In this example, we introduce a simple and useful recipe for everyday happiness. We use many bright and extraordinary Unicode characters here. Many letters contain combining marks, emoticons, as well as typographical ligatures. Unicode numbers use various shapes, fonts, and even fractional glyphs. Punctuation marks have a variety of styles and colors. We turn each Unicode symbol to plain text. We use the "Sentence Case" mode to properly capitalize only the first letter of each sentence and convert the rest of the text to lowercase.
This example translates words from the Dinosaur language into English. The Dinosaur language contains many decorating Unicode symbols and even some Zalgo. The utility outputs symbols in clean text format so that it is easy to read the message. It preserves three Unicode characters: "โ", "โ", and "๐ พ", by using the "Skip Text Symbols" option. Thus, we get an easy-to-read phrase in the output, with three decorating Unicode preserved.

We're Browserling โ a friendly and fun cross-browser testing company powered by alien technology. At Browserling we love to make people's lives easier, so we created this collection of online Unicode tools. Our tools are focused on gettings things done and they have the simplest possible user interface. As soon as you load your Unicode data in the input of any of our tools, you'll instantly get the result in the output. Behind the scenes, our tools are actually powered by our web developer tools that we created over the last couple of years. Check them out!
