Common Scenarios

• Embedding Chinese or emoji in Java, C#, JavaScript source code
• Preventing garbled characters in JSON configuration files
• Storing multilingual text in databases

JavaScript Quick Reference

// Encode
function toUnicode(str) {

What is the difference between Unicode and UTF-8?

Unicode is a character set that defines a unique number (code point) for each character. UTF-8 is an implementation of Unicode, a variable-length encoding scheme. For example, the Unicode code point for the Chinese character "中" is U+4E2D, and its UTF-8 encoding is E4 B8 AD.

What Unicode formats does the tool support?

This tool supports standard Unicode format (\uXXXX), HTML entity encoding (&#XXXXX;), and U+XXXX format. It also supports batch conversion of mixed formats.
