What is Unicode Escape Converter?

Unicode Escape Converter turns escape sequences (like \u0041) into readable characters and back again. Supports JavaScript \uXXXX, HTML entities, and Python notations, so you can debug i18n strings, decode API responses, or prep 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.
