- Choose the direction and run the converter.
- Check whether your destination accepts braced JavaScript-style escapes.
How this tool handles your input
Encoding uses \uXXXX for BMP code points and \u{...} above the BMP. Decoding recognizes both notations; other text is retained.
This is escape notation, not binary encoding. Braced escapes are JavaScript-style and are not accepted in a JSON string literal.
Example: é → \u00e9; 😀 → \u{1f600}
