Unicode Escape
Escape non-ASCII characters as \uXXXX sequences entirely in your browser.
How it works
- Paste text, or open a file.
- Click Escape.
- Copy or download the result — non-ASCII characters become \uXXXX sequences.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. Escaping happens entirely on your device.
- Which characters are escaped?
- Any character outside the printable ASCII range (code point above 127). Plain ASCII text is left untouched.
- What happens to characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, like emoji?
- They're represented as a surrogate pair — two \uXXXX sequences — the same way JavaScript string literals encode them internally.
