Unicode escape converts characters into text escape sequences such as \u041F and helps represent Cyrillic, emoji, and other Unicode symbols in JSON, Java, JavaScript, logs, and configuration files. The tool can encode only non-ASCII characters, only Cyrillic, or the entire text, and decode Unicode escape back to readable text. For characters above U+FFFF, such as emoji, the \uXXXX format may use surrogate pairs.
