UnicodeChecker displays information for every code point from the Unicode Standard 5. For a given number, UnicodeChecker will display that character along with its UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings, XHTML entity, Unicode Name, mapping information and much more.
There are also several text conversion functions available to all applications from the ‘Services’ menu or via AppleScript. So you can convert text to and from XHTML/HTML character entities or have UnicodeChecker escape Unicode characters for use in CSS or other languages.

Very very useful. Obviously handy for programmers in various languages, but it has the additional use of the ability to search for a character. Very handy at times to find different UTF characters to use as bullets or symbols that anyone can see, but doesn't require using an image.

I regularly use UnicodeChecker's service menu item to convert texts consisting of UTF-8 chars to HTML entities.
