The toolkit now includes a full suite of bidirectional converters for Unicode, ASCII, Hex, Binary, and more. Why You Need This Extension: Have you ever copied code that failed to run because of a "smart quote" or an invisible space? Have you struggled to sanitize user input for a database? Unicode Toolkit solves these specific pain points by visualizing the invisible and giving you the tools to fix it. ✨ Core Features: 1. 🔍 Detect & Visualize Hidden Characters Don't let "invisible" gremlins break your work. As you browse or type, the extension instantly highlights problematic characters: • Real-time Alerts: See a red border and specific count badge on text fields containing non-ASCII characters. • Deep Inspection: Click to see exactly what the character is (e.g., "Em Dash," "Zero Width Space," or "U+2014"). • Smart Detection: Specifically targets 30+ common "confusables" like smart quotes, different dash types, and mathematical symbols. 2. 🔄 Powerful Text Converters (Popup & Full Page) Access four distinct conversion tools via the popup or right-click context menu: • Unicode ↔ ASCII: Instantly sanitize text. Replaces "Smart Quotes" with straight quotes, dashes with hyphens, and strips invisible formatting. • Char ↔ Code: The ultimate decoder. Convert a character (e.g., "A") into Decimal (65), Hex (0x41), Unicode (U+0041), and Binary (0b1000001). • Codes ↔ Text: Translate raw code points back into readable text and vice versa. • String → Codes: Convert full strings into space-separated decimal codes for debugging. 3. 🛠️ Developer-Centric Workflow • Context Menu Integration: Right-click any selected text to "Convert with Unicode Tools" instantly. • Clipboard Ready: One-click copy for all conversions. • Offline & Secure: Works entirely within your browser.
