What does unescape string do?
Unescaping a string turns backslash escape sequences back into the characters they represent, so \n becomes a real newline and \" becomes a quote. Snabbit also handles \t, \xNN, \uXXXX and \u{...} forms, rebuilding the original readable text. It runs entirely in your browser, so whatever you decode stays private on your device.
How to use the Unescape String
- 1 Paste the escaped string you want to decode.
- 2 The unescaped, readable text appears instantly.
- 3 Sequences like \n, \t and \uXXXX become real characters.
- 4 Copy the decoded text.
What you can use it for
- Reading an escaped string from a log or JSON value.
- Turning \n sequences back into real line breaks.
- Recovering text copied out of source code.
- Checking the result of an escape-string step.
Frequently asked questions
Which escape forms are understood?
Short escapes such as \n, \t and \r, plus hex (\xNN), four-digit unicode (\uXXXX) and code-point (\u{...}) sequences are all decoded back to characters.
What happens to an unknown escape?
If a backslash is followed by a character with no special meaning, that character is kept as-is, so the text is not lost.
How is this different from URL or HTML decoding?
It reverses backslash string escapes, not percent-encoding or HTML entities. Use the URL or HTML tools for those formats instead.
