See Hex value of character at cursor
-
Would it be possible to show the Hex value of the character currently under the cursor in the status bar at the bottom?
It’s the one feature I sorely miss when I changed from PSPad to Notepad++.
The only way I can currently find to see the hex value is to actually convert the text file to Hex. But I don’t really want to convert anything, I just want to be able to see precisely what the Hex value of a single character is.
Thanks for all your hard work on this excellent program.

Hello, @rob-mcdonell and All,
You could use the @Peterjones’s Python script, provided in this post :
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/44448
Each time this Python script is called, it displays, in the leftmost zone of the status bar, the character currently at the right of the caret/cursor, of the current file, even in case of a selection, as well as its Unicode code-point, both in hexadecimal and decimal values !

It works with any Unicode character, even for those with code-point over the
BMP( Basic Multilingual Plane ) -
To get the default language name again, just switch to an other tab and switch back
You may prefer my version with a slightly different layout, here :

Or this other version, of @alan-kilborn, with a possible replacement of the aimed character :
