Combining Mark Inspector

Inspect characters that are built from a base letter plus one or more combining accents or modifiers. The tool separates every code point, labels combining marks, and compares common Unicode normalization forms.

Why visually identical text can differ

An accented character may be stored as one precomposed code point or as a base character followed by a combining mark. The forms can look identical but produce different byte sequences, string lengths, and search behavior.
