Frequently asked questions
Which characters are escaped?
Backslash, single and double quotes, and the common control characters — newline, carriage return, tab, backspace, form feed and others — become backslash sequences ready for a string literal.
How are unusual control characters handled?
Any control character without a short escape is written as a \u sequence with four hex digits, so the output stays printable and unambiguous.
Can I reverse the escaping?
Yes. Paste the result into the Unescape String tool to turn the backslash sequences back into their original characters.
