Character notation

Example: A becomes \u0041. The emoji 😀 becomes \ud83d\ude00 in UTF-16 or \u{1f600} in code-point format. Only text is converted; pasted code is not executed.

Convert text and Unicode escape sequences

Turn characters into Unicode escape sequences for debugging and string literals. Choose UTF-16 for JSON string content, or the code-point format for JavaScript.

The decoder accepts \u0041, paired UTF-16 sequences such as \ud83d\ude00, and code-point sequences such as \u{1f600}. It rejects incomplete sequences, unpaired surrogates and values outside the Unicode range.

Quick start

Encode and decode Unicode escapes locally, including emoji.

  1. Paste text or escape sequences
  2. Choose JSON-compatible UTF-16 or code points

✓ The tool runs directly in the browser and is ready for quick checks without installing software.
✓ Input can be cleared and recalculated immediately, which is useful for repeated small tasks.
✓ Use fullscreen mode when you need more space for long text, structured data or large result blocks.
✓ Copy buttons are available on generated output so results can be reused in code, documents or support chats.
✓ Most operations are deterministic: the same input and options produce the same output.
✓ For sensitive content, prefer local browser tools and review the result before sharing it further.
