 FAQ

What is Unicode and why do I need to convert text to Unicode?

Unicode is a universal character encoding standard that assigns unique numbers to characters from all writing systems. Converting text to Unicode ensures proper display of special characters across different platforms, operating systems, and applications.
How do I know which Unicode format to use?

Choose based on your needs: Unicode Escaped for general programming, HTML Entities for web pages, and CSS Unicode for stylesheets. Unicode Escaped is most common in JavaScript, while HTML Entities work best for HTML documents.
Is the conversion reversible?

Yes, our tool supports two-way conversion. You can convert from text to Unicode formats and back to plain text using the two-way mode. This helps verify your conversions and debug encoding issues.
What's the difference between Unicode Escaped and HTML Entities?

Unicode Escaped uses \u followed by the character code (e.g., \u00A9 for ©), while HTML Entities use & and ; with named or numbered references (e.g., © for ©). HTML Entities are specifically designed for HTML documents.
Can I convert multiple lines of text at once?

Yes, the converter handles multiple lines of text and preserves formatting. Simply paste your multi-line text into the input field, and all formats will be converted accordingly.
Are emojis supported in the conversion?

Yes, the tool supports emoji conversion to their Unicode representations. However, the display of emojis may vary depending on the operating system and browser support.
What browsers support Unicode conversion?

Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) fully support Unicode conversion. The tool works consistently across all major browsers and operating systems.
