Complete guide to using Unicode Converter — a free online tool by akousa.net.
Get started in seconds — no signup required
Unicode Converter transforms text to and from multiple Unicode escape notations used by different programming languages and markup standards: JavaScript and Java \uXXXX sequences, Python \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX for supplementary planes, HTML decimal (&#NNNNN;) and hexadecimal (&#xXXXX;) entities, CSS \XXXX sequences, and raw U+XXXX code point notation. It also shows the UTF-8 and UTF-16 byte representations for each character, enabling deep inspection of how characters are encoded at the binary level. This is invaluable for debugging internationalization code, generating locale-safe string literals, and understanding cross-platform character encoding behavior.
