Unicode to text converter

Paste Unicode escape codes and read the text they stand for: U+0048 U+0069 becomes Hi.

How it works

  1. Paste your text

    Type or paste the text in the left box, or open a .txt file. No text to hand? Click Example.

  2. Instant result

    The result appears as you type. Change the options and see straight away what changes.

  3. Copy or download

    Copy the result with one click, save it as a file or use it as input for a next step.

What it understands

  • U+00E9 and U+1F600
  • \u00e9, \u{1F600} and \U0001F600, including UTF-16 surrogate pairs such as \ud83d\ude00
  • é and é

The notations can be mixed in one text, and any text around the codes is kept. The note tells you how many codes were converted, and a code that isn't a valid Unicode character is reported.

To make escape codes from text, use text to Unicode. For named HTML entities such as &, use the HTML entities converter.
