Encoding Detector Tool

Overview

The encoding detector automatically identifies the encoding format of text or byte sequences, helping you correctly determine the text's encoding type.

Main Features

• Auto Detection: Intelligently analyze text features to determine encoding
• Encoding Recognition: Supports UTF-8, UTF-16, GBK, GB2312, Big5, etc.
• Confidence Display: Shows the reliability of detection results
• Character Count: Displays the number of characters

Supported Encodings

• UTF-8: Unicode Transformation Format 8-bit
• UTF-16: Unicode Transformation Format 16-bit
• GBK: Chinese Extended Encoding
• GB2312: Simplified Chinese character set
• Big5: Traditional Chinese character set
• ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Interchange
• ISO-8859-1: Western European character set
• Windows-1252: Windows Western character set

How to Use

1. Enter text or hex sequence in the left input box
2. Choose input mode (Text mode or Hex mode)
3. Click "Detect Encoding" button
4. View detection result and confidence level

Detection Principle

The tool determines encoding by analyzing:

• BOM (Byte Order Mark)
• Ratio of multi-byte characters
• Byte sequence validity
• Character distribution features
