Frequently asked questions
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. Decoding happens entirely on your device.
- What sequences does this recognize?
- \uXXXX, where XXXX is exactly 4 hex digits (case-insensitive) — the standard JavaScript Unicode escape format.
- Is this the exact inverse of Unicode Escape?
- Yes — text round-trips through Unicode Escape then Unicode Unescape unchanged.
