# Input a character using Unicode code point in CotEditor on Mac

You can input characters with Unicode code points.

To input a character with Unicode code point in the hexadecimal format at the current insertion position:

1. Choose Edit > Input in Unicode Code Point.
2. Enter a code point in the field, or select a code point from the history.
3. Press the `Return` key.

Unicode character code to input should be just hexadecimal format as well as hexadecimal code with “U+”, “0x”, or “\u” prefixes. For example, “1F603,” “U+1F603,” “0x1F603,” or “\u1F603” are valid to input “😃.”
