FAQ

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server.

Can I use this tool offline?

After the page loads once, it will typically keep working offline (unless you hard refresh with no cache).

Do you store my input?

No. Your input stays in your browser. Only optional preferences like theme or language may be stored.

What input formats are supported?

Any plain text. You can paste text directly into the input box.

What escape formats are supported?

$Most versions support \uXXXX and \u{XXXXXX}. Some also support \xNN for byte escapes.

Why didn't a sequence decode?

Decoding requires valid hex digits and correct formatting. Malformed escapes (wrong length or invalid hex) may be left unchanged or cause errors.

Does this work for emoji escapes?

$Yes, when represented as \u{...} (or paired surrogate sequences in some cases).
