What is Unicode Escape Converter?

Unicode Escape Converter transforms Unicode escape sequences (like \u0041) into their actual characters and vice versa. Supports JavaScript-style \uXXXX, HTML entities, and Python-style notations — perfect for debugging internationalized strings, decoding API responses, or preparing text for code.

How to use

  1. Step 1 — Paste Unicode escape sequences (e.g., \u0048\u0065\u006C\u006C\u006F) in the input to decode them into readable characters.
  2. Step 2 — Or enter plain text (e.g., Hello) to encode it into Unicode escape sequences in your chosen format.
  3. Step 3 — Select the escape format (JavaScript \uXXXX, HTML &#xHHHH;, or CSS \HHHH) and copy the result.

Result

An API returns \u0041\u006E\u0064\u0072\u00E9 and you need the actual name. Paste it in to see 'André' — then convert your response text back to escapes for the API payload.
