Slice Unicode

Cut Unicode strings by character index the right way using the Slice Unicode Tool. This tool respects multibyte characters like emoji or scripts and avoids breaking surrogate pairs, giving you accurate slices whether you’re dealing with Latin text or full Unicode sequences.

Paste your input above or import a file below.
No file chosen
Supported file types: .txt, .csv, .log, .json, .xml, .md, .ini, .yaml, .yml, .html, .htm, .css
Total characters: 0
Options
Allow negative indices

How to Use:

  1. Paste your Unicode-rich text into the input box or import a file.
  2. Set the start and end indexes for slicing using the number inputs.
  3. Toggle whether negative indexes are allowed (like JavaScriptโ€™s .slice()).
  4. The result updates live. Copy or export it easily once done.

Tool Options:

  • Start/End Index: Select the range of characters to slice.
  • Negative indices allowed: Enables using -1 to start from the end like in JavaScript.

Example:

Input:

๐“—๐“ฎ๐“ต๐“ต๐“ธ ๐ŸŒ โœจ Unicode Test!

Start Index: 6 End Index: 12

Output:

๐ŸŒ โœจ Uni

Common Use Cases:

Useful for trimming sections of Unicode strings, slicing segments for tokenization, or safely previewing shortened versions of complex symbol strings without breaking characters in half.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re slicing up Unicode, Split Unicode into Characters gives you finer control when you want to see everything piece by piece. And once you’ve isolated what you need, Join Unicode helps stitch it all back together.
