What does Unicode Lookup actually do?

Unicode lookup shows a character’s code point, UTF encodings, and a common HTML entity when one exists. It does not normalize a whole document to NFC/NFD for you unless the control says so, and it does not render every font’s glyph.

When should I use Unicode Lookup?

Use it to identify a confusing character or to get a code point for a test.

When should I not use Unicode Lookup?

Do not use it as a full Unicode security review for homoglyphs.

What does Unicode Lookup not do?

Lookup is per character or a short string, not a file sanitizer. Missing fonts still show a tofu box even when the code point is valid.
