Just convert the file to UTF-16 and enter the code point directly (if it fits in one UTF-16 unit), then convert back to UTF-8 if needed, otherwise you can simply use UTF-16 consistently. UTF-32 would work for all code points, but I don't know how to use UTF-32 in Notepad++ | |

Responding to the first and third sections, although the question specifically asks for a see-and-click solution, which is far more convenient than having to know the code point, these are very interesting alternatives to inserting a Unicode character. The first seems more accessible, and would be improved with step-by-step instructions. E.g. to insert an em—dash, (1) Find the UTF-8 encoding somehow (link?) (2) Type E28094 (3) Plugins | Converter | HEX -> ASCII. Voila. Non-sequitur: this is a great way to go the other way, to determine the UTF-8 coding for a character I can cut and paste.

| Oct 8, 2015 at 18:57 | comment | added | Bob Stein | I would split this triple answer into 3 sections (or even 3 answers). I don't think the second one (Conversion Panel) helps beyond the basic 256 however. | |
