Escape Unicode

Escape Unicode lets you convert every character in your text into a Unicode escape sequence. You can choose between the standard \uXXXX format or the modern ES6-compatible \u{XXXX} format, which supports all Unicode planes including emoji and mathematical symbols. Whether you’re embedding text into JavaScript, JSON, or simply want to encode it for transmission, this tool gives you full control with live preview and instant export options.
