What are Unicode escapes?

Unicode escape sequences represent characters using hexadecimal codes such as \u0041 or \u{1F600}. They are commonly used in code, JSON strings, and logs.

Encode and decode modes

Encode mode transforms readable characters into escape sequences. Decode mode reverses escaped values back to readable Unicode text.
