Debug character encoding issues and visualize raw data with the String Transcoder. This developer utility allows you to see how your text is represented across different encodings like UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, and Windows-1252. By viewing the raw binary, hex, and decimal values for every character, you can troubleshoot 'broken' text (mojibake) and ensure proper data transmission in international applications.
