What is Unicode Escape Notation?
Unicode escape sequences represent characters using the \u prefix followed by four hexadecimal digits, such as \u0041 for 'A' or \u4F60 for 'ä½ '. This notation is commonly used in JavaScript, Java, Python, and JSON source code to embed characters that are difficult to type or may cause encoding issues.
How to Convert Between Text and Unicode Escapes
Switch to Text ā Unicode mode, enter your text, and the tool converts each character to its \uXXXX representation. Switch to Unicode ā Text mode to reverse the process. Supports all Unicode characters including CJK, emoji, and rare scripts.
When to Use Unicode Escapes
Debug character encoding issues in JSON or JavaScript files. Inspect hidden or invisible characters like zero-width spaces. Prepare internationalized strings for source code. Verify that the correct Unicode code points are being used.
