How this tool works

Encoding emits a u-escape for every UTF-16 code unit; decoding accepts those escapes and reconstructs the string.

Enter text or escaped text, direction. Update the result, inspect it, then copy or download the output. Reset restores the example inputs so you can start a new calculation.
