Unicode Encoder / Decoder
Encode or decode Unicode escape sequences easily. Convert between readable text and Unicode representations including \u escapes and code points.
Format Examples:
\\uXXXX: \\u0048\\u0065\\u006C\\u006C\\u006F (Hello)
U+XXXX: U+0048 U+0065 U+006C U+006C U+006F (Hello)
Extended: \\u{1F600} or U+1F600 (😀)
About Unicode Encoder / Decoder
Unicode encoding converts text characters into Unicode escape sequences (like \u0041 for 'A') or code point representations, allowing any character from any language to be represented in ASCII-safe format. This tool handles bidirectional conversion between readable text and various Unicode representations, supporting international characters, symbols, and emojis.
Why use a Unicode Encoder / Decoder?
Unicode encoding is essential for internationalization, ensuring that text with non-ASCII characters can be safely stored and transmitted across systems that may not support the full Unicode character set. It's crucial for web development, database storage, JSON data exchange, and any application that needs to handle multilingual content or special characters reliably.
Who is it for?
International web developers, software engineers working with multilingual applications, data migration specialists, and developers building systems that handle diverse character sets will find this tool invaluable. It's particularly useful for those working with JSON APIs, database imports/exports, or legacy systems that require Unicode escape sequences.
How to use the tool
- Enter your text containing international characters, symbols, or emojis in the input field
- Choose 'Encode' to convert characters to Unicode escape sequences, or 'Decode' to convert Unicode sequences back to readable text
- Select your preferred Unicode format (\u escapes, code points, etc.) if options are available
- Click the conversion button to process your text
- Copy the encoded or decoded result for use in your code, database, or application
